The next morning, Ivy woke before Xander, a dull ache lingering through her body from the intensity of the previous night. She let out a quiet groan as she pushed herself upright and reached for her phone on the bedside table.
She had received a message from Sal the night before, but exhaustion had overtaken her before she could read it. Now that she was awake, she unlocked her phone and opened the attachment.

Scrolling further, she opened his profile and read the heading aloud.
"Officer Frederick William," she murmured.
Her eyes scanned the rest of the report before suddenly stopping on a single line.
