Voodooed - 24 05 22 Ashby Winter Interrogation Xx...

"I know nothing," Ashby stated flatly, his voice devoid of emotion.

Detective Jameson's gut told him Ashby was lying, that there was more to him than met the eye. He decided then and there that he would dig deeper, into Ashby's past, into the very fabric of the town's history, to unravel the mystery that bound them all.

A flicker of emotion, a slight tensing of his shoulders, and for an instant, Jameson thought he saw something akin to recognition. But Ashby's expression smoothed out quickly, reverting to its usual impassive mask.

The silence that followed was heavy, laden with unspoken accusations and denials. Jameson sensed he was on the cusp of breaking through Ashby's façade, of unearthing the truth hidden beneath layers of deceit.

Jameson leaned back in his chair, eyes locked on Ashby's. "The symbols found at each site... they match the patterns used in certain... spiritual practices. Practices that involve manipulation, control."

Detective Jameson stared across the cold, metallic table at Ashby Winter, whose eyes seemed to hold a thousand secrets, or perhaps a thousand lies. The date, 24th of May, 2022, marked a peculiar day in the annals of his investigation, a day that promised revelations or further entanglement in the mystifying case of the disappearances that had haunted the town of Ravenswood for months.
