Chapter 15 - The Name They Never Wanted Heard

I finally opened the last document.
The sheriff stood beside me.
Waiting.
The first page explained why I disappeared.
Why I changed my life.
Why I chose anonymity.
But it wasn’t about shame.
It was about protection.
The people chasing me weren’t afraid of my past.
They were afraid I would reveal theirs.
I looked at the tattoo beneath my watch.
A symbol I spent six years hiding.
A symbol that represented everything I lost.
And everything I survived.
Then I reached the final page.
There was one name.
One signature.
One sentence.
A sentence that made the sheriff go completely silent.

Because the person who ordered the search for me…
Was the same person who told the world I was gone.
