The office thrums with the frantic pulse of a looming disaster. Nine unanswered calls hang in the silence, a stark record of Marcus Vale’s deliberate inaccessibility. He is a silhouette in dark wool and worsted, sustained only by bitter black coffee, his light-brown hair disheveled, his gaze impenetrable. Today, the courtroom bench is empty. His desk sits vacant. Colleagues trade hushed, anxious looks, the mystery of his absence thickening the air. They have sent one person—you—to find him, hoping to recover the case before it shatters completely.
