Silence filled the room, as we both stared at each other. Praveen stared into my eyes, determining if I was lying or not, “He let you go?” I nod my head, yes for the fifth time. “Just like that?” I let out a long sigh,” For the last time, he let me go, he didn’t hurt me or anything.” The green-eyed man gave me one more look before turning in his chair, to face the desk. “Well while you were out trying to get yourself killed, I found out some information about your target” I walk behind him so I could get a closer look at his computer.

“I did some digging and found out two things. First, it turns out Adrinette wasn’t his first wife. His first wife went by the name of Camila Rodriguez. She was a typical teacher. Got her bachelor’s degree at 22. Taught for 5 years at a school called Upper Lake High. Everything about her checks out, except for one thing. Her death.”

I raise my eyes brow as if questioning the statement,” What do you mean?”

My eyes widen. I had been looking for things about Samael for months. Yet I still found nothing.

“Camila and Samael supposedly meet at his first club opening, Club Spectre on June the 26th. One month later they got married in Paris.” As he scrolled down multiple pictures of the engagement ring and Camila and Samael smiling showed. My eyes narrowed.Something about the smile seemed artificial. Maybe the way it didn’t quite reach their eyes or the fact that their faces stood still, the eyes didn’t move an inch. The closer I looked, more my mind tried to convince me that I was imagining it. Making things into stuff it wasn’t. I could just be jumping into conclusions too fast. I need facts not assumptions.

Two fingers blocked my view, hitting each other to make a snapping noise,” Are you going to let me finish or are you going to just stare at the pictures all day?” I shake my head apologetically,” Sorry” I didn’t realize how long I was staring for.

“Well as I was saying, this is where it gets weird. Only three months after, she was found dead on September 5th by one of her students. After a careful investigation, it lead to the discovery that she had committed suicide.” While sad, it what not uncommon for teachers to commit suicide. At least 84 percent did, at least in this city. School had at least & new teachers a years because of it,” What about it is weird?”

Praveen rolled his eyes,” If I could get to it I would say it. Even though the weapon choice was a gun, one that most choose, the gun wound was located on her chest. Not only that, it was fully clothed” Each picture only got darker. And blood only became ordinary. “The clothes show no residue of gunpowder. Something that should have been there. Suicide shots are at contact or close range, meaning they should have caused burn marks or something similar around the wound. Even though all of the evidence lead to a homicide instead of a suicide, the police refused to investigate it as one. So a few weeks on looking into it, they reported it as a normal teacher suicide.”

Different questions roamed in my mind. What made them label it as a suicide even though it pointed to a homicide. Who killed Camila. And most of all why?

I look from the computer,” Wow” Massaging my forehead, it was a lot of information to take in. Pravven turned his chair to face me,” What time is it?” I lift my arm to check the time,”4:45. I know this is a lot but I need information about two more people..” He groaned as he leaned back in his chair,” Maybe the entertainment that you give me isn’t enough. I might just start charging you” I laughed as he put his hand on his forehead.

“You know you love me too much to do that,” I said. “I just need two people Kenji Blade and Reyes Torres. Samael regularly meets with them. He has some type of relationship with them, am I’m not sure if it’s purely company business. They might be involved in something else together.” Pravven sighed.

“Someone might think you’re depressed with amount of time you sigh” I joke. He sighed once again so louder,”Look at what you do to me” he said dramatically.
I look at my watch once more, realizing that I had to meet with Adrienne at 5:00.
The moment I walked out. Something clicked. Praveen said he found out two things. He only told me one…
