I sigh and step outside. The rain has stopped, but like the nurse said, it is so foggy I can barely see. I get into my car and I feel that magnet pull again. I look up, staring through the windows of the nursing home before I drive off.

I stop to get gas, but also because my nerves are shot from driving in this pea soup fog. As gas pumps I twist the amulet between my fingers. I fidget with it, watching as the glyphs shimmer. My grandfather had given this to me, just days before he disappeared too.

I then look up, seeing red and blue lights glowing through the fog across the street. Cops start walking through the fog, one goes inside, another comes straight towards me.

“Lucky break!” He gasps.

I take the nozzle from my gar and hang it back on the pump. “Is it?” I ask. “What’s going on Rever?” I ask.

Rever was a police officer who I had gone to police academy with. We had remained friends, even after I left the force to become a PI. He had used me several times and had been my main source of income for a long time. I owed him a good deal.

“Dead body,” he says and shakes his head. “It doesn’t look good.”

“Do any dead bodies?” I ask, stuffing my hands into my coat pockets. “What’s up?”

He sucks air through his sharp teeth. “Ain’t the first one,” he admits with a hushed voice, stepping closer to you.

I tilt my head and furrow my brow. “Ok then,” I whisper.
