“If you lose, people will die.” Before I knew it, I was entangled in a mess bigger than I had expected. It started when I met them, and if I had any common sense then, I would’ve declined their offer. If I had any common sense, I would’ve just settled for everyone’s explanation. "He’s dead. Let him go, it’s been two years." Though, deep down, I knew that there was something else—something hidden. Sometimes, what is lost isn’t meant to be found. They were buried for a reason but I—Alexandra Belle Evans—chose to dig. This story is about how I got my hands dirty.
