"Umm, why are we doing this again?" Conor questioned, hesitantly, as he strode next to Ember.
"I'm sure we can solve this mystery!" Ember said, frustrated.
Previously...
The words went through Ember's mind repeatedly.
'Body of boy found at bottom of building, chopped up.'
"Body of boy, chopped up. Chopped up..?" She thought out loud.
Ember held her rubber band in her mouth by biting it with her front teeth while pulling back her brunette hair into a pony tail. Then, she took the rubber band from her mouth and tied her hair up.
She turned the pages of the newspaper in front of her. She then took the other newspaper and flipped through it. And the other.
She read the headlines of the News that were related to this "incident".

Ember and Conor exchanged a look before they continued walking. Incandescent light bulbs filled the place. The paint from the walls were peeling off and the cemented ground was cracked.
Ember looked at the table facing the entrance. There sat a man who look like he is in his fifties. He was reading a newspaper. Ember tried to get his attention by coughing loudly.
"Ahem."
The man looked up reluctantly, "yes?" he asked.
Ember and Conor exchanged a look before looking back at the man.
"Well, you see..."
