Following Up
After considering the information, Viktor decides to follow up on the lead. That evening, he drives to the old café mentioned in the letter.
Parking outside, he takes a moment to gather his thoughts. “This might be it,” he tells himself, stepping out of the car.
The café is quiet and subdued, adding to the reflective mood of the meeting. He walks in, scanning the room.
At a corner table, he spots an old acquaintance of his ex-partner’s.
