Emily’s pulse raced.
“Marcus!”
Her voice echoed through the cabin.
Marcus stopped halfway down the hidden staircase and looked back.
“What is it?”
Emily hurried toward him, Michael’s journal clutched tightly against her chest.
“The warning…”
She struggled to catch her breath.
“I don’t think it was about Margaret.”
The room fell silent.
Marcus slowly climbed back up the stairs.
“Tell me everything.”
Emily held up her phone.
“I got a call.”
“From Lucas.”
Daniel frowned.
“Lucas is in police custody.”
“I know.”
“He said they weren’t after the ledger.”
“They were after…”
She looked down at the dark screen.
“The call cut off.”
Marcus didn’t dismiss her concern.
Instead, he asked the question no one else had thought to ask.
“What made you change your mind about Margaret?”
