Rachel watched as the local coroner, accompanied by a few somber-faced deputies, gently moved Jackson's body onto a stretcher.

The air was thick with the scent of pine and tragedy as the coroner began his grim examination.

Abner, his face shadowed by the brim of his baseball cap, spoke up from the sidelines. "Check Phoebe too, will ya? Maybe there's

something fishy about her death as well."

Rachel shot him a glance, her green eyes sharp, but this tshe didn't object.

The results cback faster than anyone expected: both deaths were eerily similar, a fatal puncture to the brain with a sharp

needle.

Tobias, pale as the moon and only eleven years old, suddenly choked on his tears, his voice breaking the heavy silence. "It was

His words were met with immediate disbelief. After all, Queena wasn't just anyone; she was the town's sole doctor, a woman of

education who had studied abroad.

Voices rose up in protest.

"Cut the kid sslack, he doesn't know what he's saying. Queena just treated his dad's injury last week!"

"Yeah, and why would she harm your dad, kiddo? They had no beef."

"Tobias, you're heartless! Has Queena ever been anything but kind to you?"

Tobias shrank back, suddenly unsure. It was true, Queena had always been good to him. But ever since Phoebe's incident, he'd

grown afraid of her.

Rachel, sensing the shift in the crowd, raised her hand for silence. Her gaze swept over the townsfolk. "Where's Queena?"

It was only then that they realized Queena was nowhere to be found. Hadn't she just been there a moment ago?

A search party quickly made their way to Queena's house, only to find it empty, the doctor gone without a trace.

Rachel's face turned stone-cold; a suspect on the run often meant guilt.

She wasted no tcontacting the county police, rallying everyone to join the manhunt for Queena.

The townspeople were uneasy with Queena missing. Could she really be the culprit?

Elsewhere, Queena had already boarded the bus heading to the county, taking the unconscious lan with her. He had been sedated

with several injections and was oblivious to the world around him.

Queena's expression was icy as she drove. She had seized the opportunity to escape with the town's only bus, killing the driver and

taking the keys.

Her thoughts were singular: lan belonged to her, and no one would take him away.

Rachel's search soon led to the discovery of the bus driver's body in a drainage ditch, further confirming Queena's guilt.

As she was about to pursue by car, Abner suggested, "Take the chopper."

Rachel hesitated for just a moment before leading her team to the helicopter.

Abner, meanwhile, left Tobias with a stack of cash amounting to ten thousand dollars and a bank card before taking off with his

own crew.

Three helicopters took off, chasing down Queena's bus.

Queena, desperate and unsure where to hide lan, drove aimlessly towards the county. But the county police had already set up a

dragnet, leaving her no choice. She forced open lan's mouth, pushing a pill down his throat, then slit her palm and fed him her

blood.

Finally, at the county's toll station, Queena's bus was stopped.

The helicopters landed close behind, and Rachel prepared to hand Queena over to the county police. That's when Abner boarded

the bus.

He had wanted to see the person Queena was so intent on hiding. When he saw lan's face, he couldn't believe his eyes.

How could the man who had disappeared from Cania be here?

Weren't Beck's people still searching for him in Cania?

Perplexed, Abner made the call.

"Abner?"

"We've found lan."

"Oh, what?"

"I'm bringing him back to Greenfield, but his condition doesn't look good. I've got Queena too; her story seems complicated."

Beck was utterly confused, not even sure who Queena was. He was impatient to get the situation under control.

"Alright, bring them back, fast."

Abner had a brief exchange with Rachel. Rachel didn't want to deal with this group of rich young men, so she directly took a

helicopter back to Greenfield with her group.

Beck, still reeling from the call, could hardly believe it.

lan was alive?

lan wasn't in Cania?

His mind was a whirlwind of questions, and he dared not share the news with Maja, not until he knew more about lan's condition. If

lan was at death's door, it would only bring Maja pain. So he kept the news to himself and went to receive lan.

That night, lan was admitted to the finest hospital in Greenfield.

After two days of relentless efforts, lan remained unconscious. The doctors had scoured his body for clues, finding only physical

injuries, but lan wouldn't wake. Despite his vital signs being stable, he remained asleep.

A week later, with no change, Beck had no other choice but to call Dr. Sarah, a renowned specialist, for help.
