The cold night air rushed past David as he rode his motorcycle back from the docks, the engine's hum cutting through the quiet road.
Matt's desperate words echoed in his mind, and the weight of his old friend's predicament pressed hard on his shoulders. Carter, the name alone sent a chill through him.

David then remembered his father might be able to help him out, and then headed to the study. As he got there, he quietly pushed the door open, and found Winston in the study, meticulously organizing papers.
