Chapter 3 - Bait

Douglas Dire realizes he’s being watched from an abandoned office building, his paranoia spiking as he wonders if the ring was left as a trap. Confronting the unseen observer, he braces for an ambush—but no police or agents appear. Instead, an eerie humming sound grows in the distance, stirring memories of Dakota’s funeral and his own guilt. Searching the sky for drones, he finds nothing, only the silent figure still watching him from the window. As the unsettling noise intensifies, Dire senses something is deeply wrong—and for the first time in years, fear grips him.
