Alexander sighed and noticed the bright lights of a twenty-four hour pharmacy up ahead. Was Olivia that unwell
that she needed medicine? His pulse quickened at that thought. Then, he took out his phone in order to make
arrangements.
*Olivia*
Because | was so creeped out, | ended up not stopping at the pharmacy. When | parked near my apartment
building, I ran to the front door, but my heart dropped when | saw a dark figure waiting there. | opened my
mouth to scream, but froze when | saw that the man was Richard.
“What are you doing here so late?” | asked and clutched my heart from the scare.
“A little birdie toldthat you might need smedicine,” he said. He smiled kindly and gestured to the large
cardboard box he was holding. “And | have Mike's Medicine right here.”
How did he figure out that | was sick...but my thought process was interrupted by a painful jerk in my stomach.
At the end of the day, it didn’t matter how he knew.
“Huh, | appreciate it, but I'm sorry you had to call the way here at two in the morning,” | said.
“It's my pleasure.” He followedinto the building, and we rode the elevator up my floor. “Why are you out so
late?”
“I couldn't sleep,” | explained. “Upset stomach. | wanted to buy smedicine to help with digestion, but |
didn’t have any luck.”

here.”
My shoulders slumped in relief. Honestly, | didn’t care if the two men had followedas long as they had some
stomach pills forto take.
*Olivia*
I unlocked my apartment, and Richard followedthrough the door. Another sharp pain hitlike a punch in
the gut as Richard organized his medicines on my kitchen counter.
My eyes widened as | took in all the medications that he had brought with him. There were bottles of liquid cold
medicine and small white pills for allergies. But there were even bottles of pills that had pictures of the heart,
liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. | tilted my head as | picked up one of the bottles. Would these medications
actually help with a medical emergency?
Richard piled all the bottles of pills and plastic containers of liquid medicine on my counter until he found what
he was looking for. He pulled out a bottle of bright pink liquid and a box of digestive aid and handed them to me
with a smile.
|
| took them gratefully and reached for my purse that was on the counter. “Thank you, Richard. Letpay you
for these.”
He waved my offer away.
It seemed wrong to accept the medications for free, but | silently planned to buy a couple of boxes of stomach
medications and return it to Mike.
After | took the medicine, Richard left my apartment, and my stomach ache quickly disappeared like it had never
been there in the first place. Exhausted, | quickly fell asleep with a relieved smile on my face.

My alarm on my phone went off, and when I reached for it, my stomach swooped with anticipation. There was a
message from Amelia waiting for me. My heart slammed against my chest as | pulled up her message. What had
she discovered about Russell Lewis?
My eyes widened as | read her message:
‘I found out that the missing boy’s body may be buried in a rural area or even in the mountains of Luceland. The
body could be in an upland knoll covered with flowers near a pond and a cabin.”
Cold shock made a shiver go down my spine. | had to read Amelia’s message three times before | fully processed
it. It was crazy tothat she could find all of this information out in only a day. But when you had unlimited
money and resources, you could get just about anything done.
Also, Luceland was the place where
