Chapter 19 - AFTER THE STORM Months passed.
The Argent investigation became one of the largest scandals in American history.
Families finally received answers.
Missing people were identified.
Officials were prosecuted.
Daniel rebuilt his relationship with Emily.
Claire moved into a small house near the coast.
Ethan started a foundation for families searching for missing loved ones.
The money became evidence.
Every bill was cataloged.
Every number mattered.
But one bill was never recovered.
The hundred-dollar bill from the original night.
The one with the black mark.
The one Ethan had held before collapsing.
Nobody knew where it had gone.
Until one morning.
Ethan found an envelope on his doorstep.
No return address.
Inside was the bill.
And a note.
YOU FOUND THE TRUTH.
On the back:
NOW FIND THE REST.
Ethan stared at it.
Then he smiled.
May you like
Because beneath the message was another name.
One they had never heard before.
