"Oh God!" I gasped, stumbling backwards into Roy.
The sight of Kendall's lifeless body sent waves of nausea through me. His eyes were open, staring at nothing, and there was blood pooling beneath him.
"We need to call the police," Roy said, already pulling out his phone.
"But…," I said, my mind racing. "This doesn't feel right. Why would he ask me to meet him here if..."
Before I could finish my thought, bright lights suddenly flooded the warehouse. Car doors slammed outside, and I heard multiple voices shouting.
"Police! Nobody move!"
I felt a wave of dread wash over me as officers rushed into the warehouse, guns drawn and flashlights lighting up the darkness.
"Hands where we can see them!" one officer shouted.
Roy and I immediately raised our hands. I was shaking, still trying to process what was happening.
"We didn't do anything," I said. "We just found him like this."
"Ma'am, step away from the body," the lead officer commanded.
