ERIK
The next morning I woke up with a smile on my face.
And how could I not?
It was the first day of a new year - and it had started with a fantastic awakening in the dome forest, with a crazy view on the Black Forest. Ah, and an amazing mate with whom I was madly in love with asleep next to me.
For the first time in my life, it seemed as if the Universe had finally decided to make things go right for me: I was happy, I had Amy, and within 24 hours, in all likelihood, we would find out who the killer was and close the case.
My gaze barely wandered eastward - toward the cemetery that housed the fallen Blauer Mond, where Gunther had finally been laid to rest.
We're almost there, man, I thought, hoping that wherever he was, he could hear me. I'm one step closer to avenging you.
Am
