ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION Caleb stood in the middle of those eight cars with his flashlight moving slowly from one to the next and said nothing out loud.

ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION That night, the storm rattled the windows as Logan sat alone in his study with Julie finally asleep upstairs. He opened his laptop, searching, pulling threads together with practiced ease until a name surfaced. Sharon Williams, 34, grocery store clerk. A stranger who had become the most important person in…
ACT 1 — IMMEDIATE CONTINUATION The moment Sarah opened the door, the full force of the storm hit her like a physical blow.
