Preparing To Investigate
I scribbled down the names and numbers from the business cards as my heart was racing. They all appeared to be different facets of Tom’s schemes. I was putting together my case, convinced that each call and each lead would further my quest to discover the truth. My life was on the line, so this was more than just a game, and I wasn’t going to back down until I had the complete picture.

I lay in bed and gazed at the ceiling in the hopes of falling asleep. But I couldn’t stop thinking, mostly about how much I wanted to tell Mom everything. “She ought to be aware of this,” I thought impatiently. However, how could I be sure she wouldn’t tell Tom anything? Rather than sleeping, my thoughts made plans for what to do next. I would had to be vigilant till I sorted this out since there was no going back now.
