章 60: 036 Stay with Me

Two hours later, the two men ascended the fifth floor of the officers' quarters in stride, the red-haired man lifting his foot and kicking open his own door directly and rushing in, Jeff sweeping across the room before finally choosing to pull out his key and unlocking the intact door to his own quarters.

The security footage showed that Elaine had returned to stay the night after her ankle bracelet broke, and didn't choose to leave until the next day.

Why didn't he leave immediately?

Turning the lock on the door, he wondered if maybe Elaine had left him something.

Maybe it was a farewell note full of resentment, maybe it was a room of vented wretchedness, or maybe it was a taunt about having fooled him yet again.

But when he pushed open the door, there was nothing in sight; everything in the room was the same as before, even the traces of life were still new, as if the people who lived here had never left.

-No, there was not nothing.
