"I've never even heard of an Edward Forbes."The investigator continued her questioning, asking Tony how he could have been in Edward's house if he didn't know him."I can't tell you his name, but I was there for a purpose," Tony responded, his face steadfast and certain, leaving no room for doubt in his words.The investigator leaned forward, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial tone.

You’re just a desperate fool grasping at straws.”The policemen took a step back, their hands raised in a placating gesture. “Calm down, sir,” one of them said, his voice strained and uncertain. “We mean no harm.” They exchanged nervous glances with each other, aware of the volatile situation they found themselves in.
