“There was yellow crime scene tape still dangling across the doorway, and Nora gave it a dubious look, but Ginny reached up and untied it, letting the end drop on the floor and stepping over it, Tonica on her heels and Nora a distant third.

The office was slightly smaller than Este’s, and dustier around the edges from being abandoned for... several months now, but otherwise similar in layout. One wall was filing cabinets, chest-high, and topped with banker boxes, while the other two walls were filled with framed certificates.
