A Stormy Investigation - Part 1
Earlier that day…
As the sky's hue slowly faded from dark blue to orange, just a few small curtains of pale green were blocking out the light of the sun's rays. The only light that was in that room was the radiating glow of a laptop monitor, reflecting into a pair of cyan eyes that were trying not to show weakness.
