**The Envelope**
The envelope was waiting inside Emily's house.
It was plain.
No return address.
No name.
Only Emily's address handwritten across the front.
Daniel examined it carefully.
"Don't open it."
A forensic technician photographed every angle.
Then dusted the surface for fingerprints.
One partial print appeared.
The result came back twenty minutes later.
It didn't belong to Emily.
It didn't belong to her husband.
And it didn't belong to Sophia.
Daniel looked at the report.
"Who does it belong to?"
The technician hesitated.
"We're still running it."
Inside the envelope was a photograph.
Emily recognized the building immediately.
It was the same mall.
But the photograph had been taken from a distance.
It showed Emily and Sophia together.
On the back was a single sentence:
YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE WRONG WOMAN.
Daniel stared at the message.
Emily's husband asked,
"What does that mean?"
Daniel didn't answer.
His phone rang.
It was the security department.
They had recovered part of the missing footage.
Daniel immediately returned to the mall.
But the recovered clip contained something unexpected.
It didn't show Sophia pushing Emily.
Instead...
It showed another person standing behind Sophia.
A man.
Wearing a dark baseball cap.
Watching them.
And he appeared to know exactly when the camera would go offline.
