Darren stood alone on the balcony, the tip of his cigarette glowing red in the dusk.
“Mr. Harrington, we’ve looked into Ms. Lawson’s apartment. Aside from Herbert, no other adult males have been seen coming or going recently.”
“Keep digging,” he ordered, voice cold.
As he ended the call, a notification popped up from a social app: [Still interested? Five grand for tonight.]
