What Should’ve Stayed Hidden

[FBI Direct Chat – Zoya & Luka, 8:03 AM]
Zoya
Zoya
Got Alvan and Yuvi in the interview room. Nervous. Guilty. You’re up for Good Cop?
Luka
Luka
I don’t play pretend.
Zoya
Zoya
Then I’ll be the hammer. You be the scalpel.
Luka
Luka
Fine. Let’s see what breaks first.
[FBI Interview Transcript – Yuvi Kumar, Age 15]
Zoya
Zoya
Why the abandoned factory?
Yuvi
Yuvi
(fidgeting): It was just a dare... stupid thing. Alvan dared Lilly. She’s always trying to prove something.
Luka
Luka
And Jason?
Yuvi
Yuvi
He followed us. Wouldn’t leave her alone. Like some little bodyguard.
Zoya
Zoya
What did you see?
Yuvi
Yuvi
Nothing. I mean—shadows. Weird noises. Something moved. Not human.
Luka
Luka
Details, Yuvi. Or we start treating this as obstruction.
Yuvi
Yuvi
There were bodies. Not moving. In the old backroom. Plastic sheets. Something dripping. And then—
Zoya
Zoya
And then?
Yuvi
Yuvi
Lilly screamed. Jason just... stopped. Like his mind broke in two.
[FBI Direct Chat – Luka & Zoya, 10:45 AM]
Luka
Luka
Autopsy logs from 2009—six undocumented deaths linked to that factory. Never solved. Quietly buried.
Zoya
Zoya
Wait. 2009?
Luka
Luka
Yeah , why ?
Zoya
Zoya
That’s... the year I was pulled from the Davidson case. My first field shadowing. A girl died. Same layout. Same abandoned warehouse model.
Luka
Luka
You think it’s connected?
Zoya
Zoya
No. I feel it is.
Luka
Luka
Feelings aren’t evidence.
Zoya
Zoya
But they’re why I won’t walk away from this.
[FBI Internal Chat – Group: Task Force Alpha]
Alya
Alya
You okay, Z?
Zoya
Zoya
Not really.
Zayn
Zayn
Luka messing with you again?
Zoya
Zoya
No. This time... he’s the only one who gets it.
[Zoya’s Voice Memo – Private, 12:21 AM]
Zoya
Zoya
They found something real in that factory. Bodies. Experiments, maybe. Something organized—not random. And it’s happening again. Lilly isn’t just traumatized. She’s terrified of what she knows. Of what might come back. Jason didn’t shut down from fear. He shut down from memory. And the worst part? I know that feeling. I felt it when they pulled that girl out in ‘09, and I was told to forget. But I didn’t. And now I can’t.

Zoya
* A massage from Luka at this time , weird *
Luka
Luka
You lied.
Zoya
Zoya
About what?
Luka
Luka
You said this case just felt off. But it’s personal, isn’t it?
Zoya
Zoya
... Yes
Luka
Luka
Why didn’t you tell me?
Zoya
Zoya
Because you don’t believe in ghosts.
Luka
Luka
I believe in patterns. And I believe you just uncovered one.
Zoya
Zoya
So now what?
Luka
Luka
Now... we burn down the lies. Together.
Zoya
Zoya
You’re changing.
Luka
Luka
No. I’m just finally watching you—and I see more than I want to.
Zoya
Zoya
Oh ok whatever, Good Night 😴 I want my beauty sleep see you tomorrow
Luka
Luka
Hmm, ok good night
