As the papers spilled across the floor, Elias moved quickly to gather them, but then paused. His hand hovered over a photograph that had slipped out of a beige folder. He picked it up slowly, his brows furrowing as something clicked in his mind and he raised up the picture, showing it to Melanie as he asked quietly, "Why don't we start looking from here?"
Melanie blinked,and looked down at the image, understanding nothing. It was a crime scene photo—a woman lying on the floor, surrounded by yellow tape and evidence markers, with blood around the side of her face. Her eyes were shut, her face partially obscured by dried blood.
Melanie looked at Elias and asked in confused. "Start from where?"
He pointed directly at the woman in the photograph. "Her. From Saira. Saira was brought in with Adam and no one came to claim her. She is still in the morgue."
