Jay was sifting through old boxes when he received a call from Rick's former landlord. There was something that had been left behind—a sealed envelope labeled "To Mina." Inside was a letter, dated just days before Rick's death. Jay's heart pounded as he unfolded it.
"If anything happens to me… it wasn't just Nick. I've made enemies. And if I disappear or die… look into the Okabe file."
Jay's hands trembled. He called Mina immediately. When she arrived, they read the letter together. Rick had scribbled notes in the margins, fragmented thoughts about a powerful figure named Okabe—Nick's father's old business partner. A man with connections in finance and politics.
"I knew Rick was scared," Mina said, voice hollow. "But this? Why didn't he tell me?"
Jay swallowed. "Maybe he thought he could handle it on his own."
But Rick hadn't. And now, they had to.
