The phone call had ended, but Alex couldn't stop pacing. The news? His new house had a dark past. A notorious drug kingpin had been murdered within its walls.

Alex laughed, a joyous sound that echoed through the empty rooms. He had been looking for a project, a challenge. He was a history buff. The police had left, but Alex's heart raced.
