Debra’s POV:

When I heard Carlos’ accusations, I felt like a boulder had been dropped on my heart, and couldn’t draw in a full breath.
I couldn’t imagine the amount of pain Sally was in at that time.
She spent the most agonizing thirty minutes of her life in a fire that could have killed her at any moment, during which she endured the irritating thick smoke and the heat of flames alone, yet she was still concerned about our safety. When she woke up, she inquired about us first.

But what had Zoe and I done?
In the mayhem, we forgot her.
I tried my best to keep my tears at bay and remain calm.
As Caleb was not here and Zoe was injured, I needed to stay composed and stabilize the situation. After all, this involved peace between the two packs. If I was unable to handle the overall circumstances well, the mastermind’s vision would come true. The conflict between the Thorn Edge Pack and Roz Town would increase to the point that it went out of control.
“Calm down, Carlos. You can’t help Sally like this. On the contrary, the conflict between Roz Town and the Thorn Edge Pack will only escalate!”
I pointed out as I reminded him, “Take a look around you. There are many injured residents still here. They are watching us in horror right now. They are innocent, Carlos. Do you want to make this situation spiral out of control?”
Carlos swept his eyes over our surroundings, then clenched his fists, and finally reined in his emotions.
We waited for the police to finish their investigation in front of the new building.
They questioned those present and probed the scene before finally handing over the accident report.
“We have discovered the cause of the fire. The construction team was still working in the building on the opening ceremony day. They didn’t follow the standard operating procedures, which led to the fire. It was not arson.”
My expression darkened and I was unable to believe this.

“What about the false alarms?” I asked them in a very unhappy voice.
“The fire department received several hoax calls before the fire, and they happened to originate from the Roz District. As Ian stated, this was one of the reasons for the slow response. How can you rule that this wasn’t arson?” I gave him a challenging look.
The policeman calmly explained, “The false alarms were just a prank.
We have looked into them. The main reason the fire department arrived late is that another place in the Thorn Edge Pack also had a small fire, which is unrelated to the false alarms.”
My scowl deepened when I heard this reasoning.
While the investigation result sounded plausible, it was, in fact, full of Loopholes.
The truth couldn’t be that straightforward.
