The Investigator
As Evelyn sprinted after Marta, a flicker of light from the floor near Marta's former desk snagged her attention. Pausing briefly, she noticed a small, intricately designed key adorned with unfamiliar markings, leaving her to decide whether to continue the chase or uncover the key's significance in the precinct.Evelyn had just reached the hallway when a figure emerged from the dim shadows by the exit. It wasn’t Marta, but an unfamiliar individual who stood firmly in her way, their unreadable expression hinting at a deliberate intent to prevent her pursuit.Evelyn paused just before the doorway Marta had disappeared through, her thoughts whirling. Rather than pursuing immediately, she swiftly surveyed the area and positioned herself near a shadowed corner, ensuring she could ambush Marta if she returned or confront any unexpected threats.Evelyn arrived at the door Marta had rushed through, catching it just before it fully closed. Her sharp eyes spotted subtle scuff marks on the floor pointing toward the stairwell, revealing Marta's unexpected escape path and urging her to quickly pursue.
