Ryan nodded, his expression determined. "I've already called in the arson investigation unit. They should be here any minute."
As if on cue, a convoy of fire trucks and police cars arrived, sirens blaring. Alice watched as firefighters battled the inferno, their efforts heroic but the fire relentless.
"Let's start by interviewing witnesses," Alice said, pulling out her notebook. "We need to get as much information as possible before the trail goes cold."
