"Alright, if you're looking for trouble, I'm not afraid to spill the beans."
Odie said, "Last time I went back to Summerfield, it seemed like I was there for Minton’s business, but honestly, I was on the hunt for a rare gemstone."
"A rare gemstone?" Sophie raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, a gemstone. It's worth a fortune. Word is, it was snapped up by some private collector overseas decades ago, and getting details has been like pulling teeth."
Sophie looked puzzled. "You mentioned a private seller. How'd you manage to get it?"
"Well, back in Summerfield, after stumbling upon The Silent Shadows, I dug into their origins. In this old church, I spotted a pattern in the stained glass, a phoenix, you know? So I did some digging and found out The Silent Shadows have been around for over a hundred years."
Odie picked up his phone from beside the pillow, scrolled through some photos, and showed them to Sophie. "This phoenix is likely their totem. Behind it is something like a sun. Remember those ancient tales of the phoenix rising from the ashes? I reckon there's a link here."
Sophie considered this for a moment. "So, this totem is what The Silent Shadows is all about?"

Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free.
