    Wayne furrows his brows as he continues watching the news. The body was found hours ago and detectives are sure it's a case of murder, though whoever did that made it appear it's sucide. Wayne shakes his head to clear out his thoughts. It can't be what he's thinking right?. Maybe it's just coincidence, maybe it wasn't the same mansion she entered. Not dwelling on the thought was welcoming and he tore his gaze away from the TV set. She can't be... a murderer.He finally pushed the thought out and resumes packing up the numerous files and stacking them up into a briefcase. He relaxed into his seat when he was done and sighs inaudibly. The elevator door slides open and Gwen walks in with a tray of food."Hey buddy..."

The space beside her was empty, Wayne was in the bathroom.She pulled the comforter closely to herself and a small smile lits up her face as she remembers last night.
