The rest of the drive was filled with a tense silence, each of them lost in their thoughts. When they finally arrived home, Vaughn parked the car and turned to Eliza. "We'll figure this out," he said, his voice filled with determination. "I promise."
Eliza nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude and love for Vaughn. "I know we will."
Inside the house, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation. Vaughn gathered everyone in the living room, their expressions reflecting the seriousness of the situation.
"We need to find out who's really behind this," Vaughn began, his voice steady. "Gaskins might not be the mastermind, but someone close to him is."
Alexei leaned forward, his eyes sharp. "Do we have any suspects?"
"Not yet," Vaughn replied. "But we need to dig deeper into Gaskins' connections. Find out who has the most to gain from this."
Ryle nodded, his expression grim. "We'll start with his known associates. See if anyone stands out."
