SIGNAL FOR REVENGE

chapter 3

In the midst of a restless crowd, Lingcon emerged from his Volvo, intrigued by the chaotic scene. A pungent odor led his attention to a gruesome discovery—a cut mirroring a haunting memory from years past. Hastily, he retreated to his Volvo and raced 30 kilometers to Mr. Snow's office.

Mr. Snow's expansive office, though already grand, underwent embellishments, transforming into a masterpiece of simplicity. Meanwhile, Mr. Snow contemplated how to extract information from Lingcon about Mrs. Johnson's killer. A revelation struck him: "I'm full of wit. Now I see."

As the wall clock struck 10:45 am, a knock echoed. Garry, at Mr. Snow's summons, entered gracefully. "You've gotten a new jack," Mr. Snow remarked, setting the stage for a conversation steeped in intricacies.

Intrigued, Lingcon sat ready for the unexpected. Mr. Snow, meticulous and astute, addressed Garry, "What brought you here is important." Lingcon, all ears, awaited a simple question that carried unforeseen weight.

Apologies followed as Mr. Snow broached the sensitive topic—Mrs. Johnson's death. Garry, bewildered, couldn't fathom Mr. Snow's obliviousness to his identity. Laughter, tinged with hysteria, filled the room as Garry grappled with the accusation.

Mr. Snow, calm yet resolute, confronted Garry with damning evidence, presenting a newspaper headline that left Garry in disbelief. The room pulsated with tension as Mr. Snow questioned Garry's involvement in the state director's wife's demise.

A revelation of an incriminating tape left Garry speechless. Mr. Snow, torn between belief and doubt, struggled to initiate an investigation. Garry, enraged, stormed out, leaving the door to reverberate in the aftermath.

Amidst the chaos, Mr. Snow pondered the innocence he perceived in Garry against the damning tape. Lingcon's departure left unanswered questions lingering in the air, turning Mr. Snow's once orderly office into a realm of uncertainty.

As the door slammed shut, the suspense thickened, propelling the narrative into the intricate web of truth and deception that defined this chapter's unfolding drama.
