It was 5.00 am.


    Vespera was in a deep slumber. She had set two phones on the bedside table, and one buzzed with an iing message.


    By the time she saw the message, it was already moming. It was a text from Felicia.


    of the truth out from her-the young man''s dead body is probably hidden in the countryside or in the mountains of Ashford


    "There''s a small hill with flowers, grass, and a pond. There''s a small wooden cabin too. You were once ssmates. Do you have any idea where this ce could be?


    Ashford? Not that ce again!


    Yespera seemed somewhat drawn to Ashfordtely. Not only had she heard about it several times, but Felicia even brought it up in her text today.


    A small hill, flowers, grass, a pond, and a small wooden cabin-all of that sounded like scenery in the mountains. But after Vespera gave it more thought, the description didn''t seem to match.


    Also, was Quentin from Ashford?


    Reba had mailed the information to her. All this while, Vespera thought qurtin was from Halewick Wasn''t he Tina''s high school ssmate?


    Vespers gave Reba a call. Before she could even say a word, Reba said, "I''m on my way to your ce. he there in ten minutes."


    "Okay."Reba seemed to have news of her own as well, and she really did show up at Vespera''s apartment within ten minutes.


    Reba said, “I woke up early today and listened to the recording fromst night. Gave me quite a shock


    "Felicia is really good at this, isn''t she? She actually tricked Tina into getting drunk and made her spill the beans."
