269 The Meeting (2)

Erik's heart started racing as he stepped into the room and saw the private investigator sitting at the table, his piercing gaze fixed upon him. He felt a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead as he sat down across from the man.

"Mr. Romano, I presume," the investigator said in a deep, gravelly voice. Erik nodded, not trusting himself to speak.

"I'm Private Investigator Hais. I've been hired to look into the disappearances of Logan Reid, Conal Price, and Orson Smyth. And I believe you may have some information that could help us."

Erik's mouth went dry. He remained calm on the outside, but his mind was racing. His worst fear just came true, and the man was there because he was investigating the three motherfuckers disappearance. Luckily he managed to keep his composure enough to avoid the system calming him down forcefully, but the fact that the situation was a mess remained.
