It had been eight agonizing months since Trina Sinclair and Jasmine Lloyd disappeared, and Daniel had recently learned of their deaths. As this happened, he and Sean sat in stunned silence, confronting the outcome they'd desperately hoped to avoid.

"It's unfortunate," Daniel began, clutching a file.

"Worst possible scenario, I'm afraid," Sean replied.

"Even so, something seems off."

"How's that?"

Daniel stood and slapped the file onto the desk. "How is Sabrina involved? More importantly, how does a seventeen-year-old commit such an act alone?"

Sean shrugged. "It's a mystery, my friend. Though we'll know what happened once we find her."

"What if we're wrong?" Daniel questioned, thumbing through another folder.

"You haven't been yet, so trust those instincts. Now, what about the Solomon girl?"

Daniel hesitated. "Her name keeps coming up, especially when the synagogue or sisterhood is mentioned."

"Strange, don't you think?" Sean challenged, grasping the case file. "What about the others?"

Daniel shrugged. "There's nothing except the basics, but their cult involvement runs deep."

Sean stood and pondered. "What role does Luen play? He seemed open but somewhat evasive."

Daniel nodded. "He's protecting the congregation. Otherwise, I'm not worried about him."

Sean grinned. "You're always worried about something."

Daniel smirked. "Maybe so, but Sabrina's hiding, and I intend to find out why."

"Or what?"

Before Daniel could respond, the phone rang. After a brief conversation, Sean watched with an anxious expression.

"Well?"

Daniel smiled. "We have approval."
