Quotes
The first two weeks of the investigation had been frustrating. I felt like I was chasing my tail.
I could feel the color leaving my face. My heart pounded in my chest.
I had a sudden image of a giant hand reaching out of the sky and plucking me from my safe little world.
I felt as if I were outside of myself, watching the scene unfold.
I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched.
I was suddenly aware of breathing, the effort it took.
The tension in the room was palpable, like a live wire underfoot.
I had a sinking feeling in my gut, like I was in way over my head.
I felt a surge of adrenaline, my senses on high alert.
The silence was deafening, pressing in on me from all sides.
