Chapter 31 An Unexpected Gain
Finally, there was a breakthrough in Johnson’s whereabouts. Ivanna’s report shocked me. Johnson
frequented Amethyst Apartments, a newly developed upscale apartment community.
This revelation reminded me of that key that never seemed to match anything. I wondered if the key
