The rain had passed, and a black sedan was driving down the wet asphalt road.
Renee Jennings had just left the police station.
Edith Zane's situation had been resolved. Melanie Ford's family had paid her compensation and apologized publicly.
Renee Jennings had originally planned to pick up Edith Zane and help her find a temporary place to live.
But Edith Zane told her that a kind netizen had already contacted her the previous night.
The netizen ran an art studio and had asked Edith if she liked to paint. She offered Edith a job at her studio, where she could also learn to paint.
Renee had the netizen meet them at the police station to pick Edith up. She wanted to get a better sense of the situation and make sure the person wasn't a scammer before she could rest easy.
She got the address of the netizen's art studio, planning to ask Michelle Fuller to go check it out with her in a couple of days.
Renee was just thinking about Michelle Fuller when her phone rang.
