Gathering information
I reached out to some old family friends and acquaintances, hoping to uncover more about his recent troubles.
‘Have you heard anything about my brother?’ I asked subtly, not wanting to raise suspicions. Slowly, the pieces began to fit together.
Friends hinted at financial problems and questionable decisions. ‘He’s been running with a rough crowd,’ one old friend confided.
With each conversation, I understood more about the depth of trouble he had entangled himself in.
