MARCUS REYES~
In this line of work, you learn very quickly that justice isn't a straight line. It's a blood-stained maze built by people with too much money and zero conscience.
People assume investigations begin with bodies. They don't. They begin with inconsistencies. A sentence that doesn't match another. A timestamp that's off by two minutes. A phone call nobody can explain. Most killers don't make mistakes,the desperate, panicked people around them do.
Five days until the Obsidian Matrix. Five days until the biggest media spectacle of the year. Five days before every potential witness disappeared behind celebrity schedules, high-priced PR teams, and private security details. Five days before the entire country stopped caring about how Angela Davis actually died... and started watching Elara Jones on a stage.
Because of course she was the type who stirred heads, by just breathing.
