Ordinarily insignificant, that phrase unsettled Quinn each tit echoed in her mind.
Alexander had intended to take Quinn home, but halfway there, he received another call-this tfrom Wayne.
Instead, he ended up taking her to the outskirts.
Police tape barricaded the area, with onlookers craning their necks for a glimpse. Police car lights flashed as
people murmured among themselves."Someone died. There was a fire on the hill, and they got burned. Such a
pity.""Does anyone live up there?""Not sure, but someone might. That's why the hills are dangerous; it's too easy
for a fire to start."Quinn's heart skipped a beat as she turned to Alexander.
They remained in their car, unable to pass through the crowd for a closer look, only able to see lights moving
down from the hillside.Alexander lit up a cigarette and settled into the driver's seat of his car to smoke.

They look like her, and her purse... found it on the side of the road with her ID inside.""That's a shame."
Alexander's tone was distant, devoid of emotion.Wayne bristled at his response. "Your sister's dead. What kind of
attitude is that?"
Alexander chuckled lightly. "Isn't it unconfirmed? Are you so eager for her demise?""You..."
Wayne was at a loss for words.But the phone call he had received from Valerie that morning troubled him; it had
a tinge of foreboding that this might relate to the contract. Now that he'd just finalized that contract and this
news broke, fingers might point at him, suspiciously.
With Valerie gone, her shares would fall to him. How could he explain that without sounding guilty?
Wayne heaved a melancholic sigh,
