Oxford, Botley Cemetery….
In the dark of night, a group of military clad men emerged from an armored vehicle. Within a few minutes, they secured the parameters and located a freshly dug grave on the south side of the cemetery. They wasted no time in acquiring what lies 6ft deep below the ground.
The body of Emery Fitzgerald.
Then as quickly as they came, they had vanished without a trace.
News of the corpse's mysterious disappearance would reach Rhyland the very next day. Shocked and alarmed, he quickly paid off the major media outlets so as not to report on the news. His intention was clear. Aubrey must not know of this. The girl must not be troubled by matters ongoing here in Oxford. They must retrieve the body before the girl returns from her study abroad.
For Rhyland, it wasn't too difficult to surmise who was the mastermind behind this thievery.
