The last time they entered Ashley's secret floor, they had been hunting Marshal Di Carpio.
Now, Marshal was dead.
Yet as Red and Khan's crew followed Ashley into the darkness, none of them felt as though the danger had truly passed.
The lights switched on one after another, illuminating the vast room. Everything they had left behind remained untouched, including the evidence board covered with Marshal's photographs, connections, and known locations.
Rum glanced around before scratching the back of his head.
"Boss," he began, "why exactly are we back here?"
Ashley stopped in the middle of the room and turned to face them.
"Because Memphis is still alive."
The group fell silent.
Rum blinked. "Is he?"
"I thought Black Dragon's faction caught him," Rus remarked.
"They caught someone who looked like him," Ashley corrected. "Not Memphis himself."
That was the problem.
