The days after Carter's hospital stay felt like a blur. Sheriff Meadows had been arrested, his involvement in the killings and the game finally revealed. The town of Oak Ridge was in shock—no one could believe that the very man sworn to protect them had been behind such a gruesome, twisted series of murders. But the truth was undeniable.
Carter, still recovering from his injuries, spent the following days going over every piece of evidence one more time. He had discovered that Sheriff Meadows had been orchestrating everything from the very start. The murders, the notes, the disappearances—they were all part of his sick, ritualistic game that he had inherited from Elias Blackwood.
Yet something still gnawed at Carter. It wasn't just the fact that Meadows was the killer—it was the lingering question of why.
Why had he targeted children? Why had he chosen Max, Cody, and even Brad Turner?
And most of all, why had he gone after Carter?
Carter knew that Sheriff Meadows had been manipulating him from the start, leading him down false paths and keeping him distracted. But there was more to the story. Carter could feel it—there was a hidden layer to this game that he hadn't uncovered yet. The sheriff hadn't been working alone. And the killer wasn't just Meadows.
