Part 1: The Letter
===================
Detective Nav Kruz stared at the single line scrawled across the yellowed paper. The ink had smudged slightly, as if the writer had been in a hurry.
Find me before they do.
The envelope was unmarked. There was no postage stamp and no return address. It hadn’t come through the usual channels. Yet, when Nav walked into his office that morning, it was right there on his desk. His instincts screamed at him—this wasn’t just a prank.
He lifted his phone and dialed his assistant, Claire.
“Yeah, boss?”
“Did you see anyone come in this morning before me?”
“No one. The security logs don’t show anything either. Why?”
Nav hesitated. “Just checking something. Thanks.”
He placed the letter down carefully and pulled on his gloves. If someone had slipped past security, they wanted him to see this—and only him. But who? And why?
Part 2: The Hunt Begins
========================
By the time Nav reached the forensic lab, his gut was already telling him the results. No fingerprints, no DNA, and nothing that could provide a lead. It was like a ghost had sent the letter.
Claire walked in, holding a file. “You’re not gonna like this.”
“Tell me something new.”
“The ink? Standard ballpoint. Paper? Mass-produced. Basically, whoever wrote this wanted to stay off the radar.”
Nav frowned. “Then why contact me at all?”
Claire tapped the desk. “Maybe they’re desperate.”
Nav thought for a moment. “Or maybe it’s a trap.”
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. A blocked number.
He answered. “Kruz.”
A distorted voice whispered, “You’re already too late.”
The line went dead.
Investigating Further
Nav's mind raced. The urgency of the situation was palpable. Someone was out there, and they were in trouble. But where to start? Trusting his instincts was crucial. He had to dig deeper into this mystery.
His thoughts turned to Ethan Vale, a tech genius who had made headlines for his reclusive lifestyle. Known for his innovative software, Ethan had recently gained attention. Was there a connection?
