If not, I'll see if I can get any clues from Mom or gather more information elsewhere." Christopher sighed. "Alright then. Xyla, I'm counting on you." "I know. I'll take care of it."

She discovered multiple call logs with an unfamiliar number, but no text messages exchanged with it. There was nothing suspicious in her mother's Whatconversations, either.
Xyla took out her phone and snapped a photo of the unfamiliar number.
She then opened the photo album, hoping to find sclues. One picture made her head nearly explode.
In the photo, a woman was tied up, her clothes in disarray and her body covered in blood.

Startled, she quickly got up and ran back to her room.
