Chapter 5 - MARCUS'S LAST SECRETEvelyn called Daniel Reed.
Daniel had been Marcus's best friend since college.
More importantly, he was the only person Evelyn trusted.
When he arrived, Lily hid behind Evelyn.
Daniel stared at the tea.
“Don't touch it.”
“I wasn't planning to.”
Daniel took a photograph.
Then his face changed.
“Evelyn... where did you get this?”
“What?”
He pointed toward the cup.
“The symbol.”
A tiny black raven had been carved into the porcelain.
Daniel explained that Marcus had once told him about a private organization called The Raven Circle.
Politicians.
Bankers.
Corporate executives.
People who could make problems disappear.
“Marcus wanted to expose them,” Daniel said.
Evelyn stared at him.
“Then they killed him.”
Daniel didn't answer.
Because neither of them believed Marcus was dead anymore.
That evening, Lily drew a picture.
Three people stood beneath a black sun.
One was Evelyn.
One was Marcus.
The third had no face.
