My request for Boseman to find the file is not in vain as she gives me good news soon after. I study the file with Davis, hoping to find useful information...

• Though I asked Prosecutor Boseman for help on recovering Taylor's records, I didn't have much hope for it.
• A week later, I receive unexpected good news.
• You: Davis, Boseman's got Taylor's file!

• Edmund Davis: That's great! When are we picking it up?

• You: She doesn't have any appointments today, so right now is fine.

• Edmund Davis: Good, let's go.

• You: Eh? Don't we need to inform Mr. Kane?

• Edmund Davis: The man in front of you is the real boss of Gotham Times.

• Edmund Davis: Since the boss has already agreed to take you personally, don't worry about it.

• You: Thanks, boss!

• Edmund Davis: Let's go.

• Davis drives me to Boseman's office.
• He waits in the car while I meet the prosecutor.

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, please have a seat.

• Diane Boseman: There's something I must tell you first. Although I have found Taylor's file...

• Diane Boseman: It is incomplete, and some important parts are missing.

• You: How...?

• Diane Boseman: And I can't reveal how I got the file either.

• You: I understand, and I won't ask...

• Diane Boseman: All I can say is that getting it was far more difficult than I anticipated.

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, as you expected, Taylor is key to your investigation.

• Diane Boseman: I suspect he uncovered something very important...

• Diane Boseman: And it led to his death.

• You: I understand what you mean, Prosecutor Boseman.

• Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, do you still want to continue investigating?

• You: Yes, and even if I don't, someone will come after me, I'm sure.

• Diane Boseman: Please be careful. My previous offer still stands.

• Diane Boseman: Let's keep each other posted regarding any new developments.

• You: Of course. Thank you for the file. I'll take my leave now.

• I might seem determined and confident in front of Boseman, but I'm actually very worried.
• I know it's dangerous to investigate something like this, but I've been running into precarious situations one after another.
• I hurry to Davis' car to share what I've just learned.

• Edmund Davis: How was it?

• You: It's a long story. We do have the file, but...

• Edmund Davis: That's great, isn't it? Let's head back to the office.

• You: This file is extremely important, and it might not be a good idea to look at it at the office...

• Edmund Davis: I get it, let's go to Waterlife then.

• You: Okay.

• We remain silent as we drive to Waterlife.

• We study Taylor's file together in the suite.
• Aside form the missing information that Boseman mentioned, we also notice some bizarre details.
• And confirm some of our conjectures as well.

• You: Amy's missing persons case should be the last case Taylor and Wilson partnered on.

• You: Despite being partners, Wilson chose to exclude himself from all follow-up investigations...

• Edmund Davis: This is really unusual.

• Edmund Davis: Does Wilson know something? If not, it's hard to explain his behaviour here...

• You: We wouldn't be here searching for clues if he were willing to talk to us.

• Edmund Davis: It's fine, we have other leads.

• Edmund Davis: Did Rossi ever mention Wilson to you?

• You: Let me think... no! He never did.

• Edmund Davis: Then we can assume Taylor met with a mishap because of the follow-up investigation.

• Edmund Davis: Wilson wasn't involved in that, so he survived.

• You: That's possible.

• Edmund Davis: So the key lies in what Taylor found out?

• You: Look here! He found cases of missing girls in other areas.

• Edmund Davis: He must have been thinking that these cases are all related in some way.

• You: If that's true... Then the missing info probably explains how they're linked.

• You: Oh yes, Edmund. Boseman reminded me of something today.

• You: She said that Taylor is a key person, and that he might have uncovered something big.

• Edmund Davis: The file is more crucial than we thought. Let's study it again in detail.

• Davis and I study the file once more.
• You: Edmund! The school! Look, Amy went missing on the way home from school.

• You: Emma Smith, Lucy Schmidt, Mari Hoffman too!

• You: The reason Taylor put these together, could it be--

• Edmund Davis: The same school!

• You: That's right! These girls might be from the same school.

• You: ...But if students are going missing, why isn't the school doing anything?

• You: Or maybe it's geographically related, instead of the school...

• Edmund Davis: Well we're just guessing that it might be the same school, but it's worth checking it out.

• Edmund Davis: Even if the school turns out to be innocent... We'd be able to strike it off our list of possibilities, right?

• You: Yeah, you're right. Let me take down the name... Gotham Charity School.

• Edmund Davis: Sounds like a welfare school.

• You: We'll know when we get there.

• You: We may still need to find Wilson after that.

• You: Without his help, we may not be able to connect the dots.

• Edmund Davis: Hahaha, do you really like hitting your head against the wall?

• You: No, I...

• Edmund Davis: Let's just get Jack to investigate. That's the most effective way to deal with Wilson.

• You: Alright... I guess that's the only way.

• Edmund Davis: Let's go back to the office to prepare. We can visit Charity School tomorrow morning.

• On the way back to the office, I am preoccupied by my thoughts.
• Maybe I'm just too nervous, but I keep feeling like I'm being watched.
• And I don't want to share this possibly imagined feeling with Davis, so I can only endure it on my own.
• My unease remains despite the amount of work and the ample rest I'm getting.

• You: Last night, I had another nightmare...

• I go wash my face in an attempt to shake off the terrible feelings left over from the dream.
• The cold water calms me down, and I take a deep breath before changing my clothes.

• You: Alright, I'll just wait for Davis now.

• I roll my eyes when I hear his usual honking rhythm.
• At the window, I gesture to him to make him stop disturbing the neighbours.

• On the way to the school, we discuss how we're going to conduct the school visit, but...

• The gate is shut tight when we arrive at the school entrance.
• Davis and I identify ourselves and explain why we're here to the receptionist.
• She politely declines to let us in, saying that appointments have to be made in advance.
• We try both persuasion and intimidation, but she remains resolute.
• Edmund Davis: If we can't enter as reporters, we can try another way.

• You: Maybe...we can pretend to be students or teachers!

• Edmund Davis: Are you addicted to sneaking into places now?

• You: Uh... You've got a better idea?

• Edmund Davis: Since it's a welfare school, they might not reject a visit from a sponsor.

• You: (Uh... Only a rich kid would come up with that!)

• Edmund Davis: It's not difficult for a rich person to find a sponsor or to become one himself!

• Edmund Davis: Let's split up. You can search through the old papers at the office, and see if there's any news related to the school or the missing girls.

• You: Okay, I'll go back and search.

• Davis drops me off at the office and leaves again immediately.

• Though I expected to face a large amount of old newspapers to look through, I'm still shocked by the immensity of the task at hand.
• You: (I miss computers. How long will I take to go through all of these...?)

• White walks over to me with a concerned look on his face. I guess I look really anxious.
• White: Elizabeth, do you need help looking for something?

• You: Thank you, White. I'm looking for some information to use in an article.

• White: Let me help you!

• I want to decline White's help, but looking at the heap of newspapers before me...
• You: Sure, but you have to keep this a secret.

• White: Oh? What's were the secrecy? But don't worry, I won't talk about it.

• You: That's great! Thank you!

• I hand over the task of finding reports about Gotham Charity School to White.
• Then I turn my full attention on the search for reports on missing girls and missing person ads.
• We make quite a bit of noise retrieving the papers form the room, and draw Mr. Kane's attention.
• George Kane: Colvin, what are you doing?

• You: Sorry for the disturbance, Mr. Kane. We are looking for some old reports.

• George Kane: Oh? What reports?

• You: Anything on Gotham Charity School, reports of missing girls, and missing person ads...

• George Kane: Gotham Charity School? I don't think I've heard of it before...

• George Kane: As for reports of missing girls, you can try New York Global, World Post, and Big Apple Daily.

• George Kane: They have pages dedicated to information on lost children.

• You: Thank, Chief! I'll get on it right away!

• You: ...I'm sorry for what I said the other day...

• George Kane: You were just fighting for your investigation. At least it proved I chose the right person.

• You: Mr. Kane, I...

• George Kane: If you need my help in any way, let me know.

• George Kane: It's something you've decided to investigate, so make sure you bring the truth to light.

• You: I will!

• Filled with gratitude, I watch Mr. Kane return to his office.
• I'm so fortunate to be a part of the Gotham Times.
• Here I've met passionate colleagues, an excellent chief editor... and Davis.
