It was the twelfth hour of the investigation into the theft of the Sun of Dawn.
The sky was already dark, devoid of the crimson hues of dusk. Instead, dense clouds loomed overhead, casting an eerie twilight that blurred the line between day and night, as if the blackness of night had descended prematurely upon the earth.
