Once inside, Estrella’s gaze immediately fell on the bandages covering Jason’s face. If the scars were deep, it would be tough to avoid marks.

“How did he even know I was at Glimmering Lake?” Estrella inquired.

“No idea,” Thomas admitted. “But finding out where you are isn’t hard for him.” He then added, “Just a thought, Estrella, but are you sure you want to keep digging into the Glimmering Lake case? Maybe we’re dealing with folks who are way out of our league.”

Estrella chuckled. “Out of our league or not, I’m seeing this through.”

How could she not? If she didn’t unearth the culprits, what would become of the villagers in Glimmering Lake, or the good folks under their jurisdiction?
