  Summary

  ▼
  (What happened this time? The store looks fine, doesn't seem like it was broken into... Where's Carol? Why's Carol not here? DidSomethingHappenToCarol?)

  ✱ A feeling of dread overcomes you and your mind spirals with thoughts. All of them are bad. You watch your boss finish talking to a police officer. He approaches you.

  (I'm just jumping to conclusions, Carol will be fine.)

  "Alright, was it a hassle closing the store last night?"

  "N-no, it was fine... what happened?"

  "Well... Carol didn't come home last night. Looks like she ran away."
