When Anthony heard that, he slowly lowered his head.
In 2018, he rented a place in Skyline City. During a house viewing, he met the Brown sisters. They were young and disarmingly cheerful. Their lively chatter kept him there far longer than he intended, and dark thoughts began to stir in his mind.
Not long after, he found an unoccupied house in the suburbs. He put on gloves, opened the door in silence, and discovered a basement with exceptional soundproofing.
An idea took shape.
Wearing a baseball cap and a mask, Anthony began to observe the area in secret.
One night, a power outage swept through the neighborhood. A delivery driver hung several drinks on the door.
Anthony rushed over and slipped sleeping pills into them. Near midnight, he used a prepared key to unlock the door without a sound and took the three sisters with him.
When they woke, chains circled their necks. They were naked and locked inside a cage.
Outside the cage, Anthony’s face contorted into a grotesque, twisted smile.
For the next three months, he inflicted violations and torment beyond imagination.
Night had already fallen by the time Dominic left the station. He lit a cigarette, yet unease lingered in his mind.
After some time, Ezra came out and gave him a pat on the shoulder. “He confessed. Now we wait for the trial p>
Dominic murmured in acknowledgment. “Did you notify their father p>
“Yes,” Ezra replied evenly.
Solving the case marked a major success, but not a trace of joy showed on his face. The case was soaked in the blood of young girls and the tears of their family. No one could feel happiness under that weight.
“ It’s late. I’ll head home,” Dominic said, glancing at his watch.
At that moment, a gray–haired man walked into the police station.
Dominic looked over and froze.
The weathered, hollow–eyed man was Liam from the photographs. In just seven years, he seemed to have aged three decades.
His gaze landed on Ezra, and his voice shook as he spoke. “Excuse me… who is Captain Sanchez p>
“That would be me p>
“Really… Did you catch him p>
“We did,” Ezra said. “ He will face the full force of the law p>
Tears flooded Liam’s eyes at once. He staggered back a few steps, then suddenly fell to his knees before Ezra and bowed deeply until his forehead touched the ground.
At the same moment, three girls dropped to their knees beside Dominic, their foreheads pressed to the ground.
It felt like two opposite forces, split by an invisible line.
“Captain Sanchez, thank you. Thank you…” Liam sobbed.

The three girls glanced at their father, reluctance filling their eyes.
They then turned to Dominic and spoke in unison. “Thank you, sir p>
With that, their delicate, beautiful forms slowly faded from sight.
Liam seemed to sense something. He turned toward the empty space beside him, confusion written on his face, while a profound desolation settled in his heart.

Dominic said goodbye to Ezra and left the station. He sat in the car and felt that familiar surge of energy rise again.
He lit a cigarette in silence. After a short while, he started the engine.
When he arrived home, Isabella had already picked up Lilith.
“Honey, you’re back,” Isabella said as she walked over. “Lily has a parent–child activity at school tomorrow. Both parents have
to attend p>
Dominic frowned. “Do we really both have to go p>
“All the other parents will be there,” Isabella replied. “If only one of us shows up, Lily will be upset p>
