Midnight Musings: Confronting the Past

As Detective Karl Jenkins sits in his car near Luke's house, memories of a past confrontation with Jamie resurface, revealing unresolved tensions and cryptic clues.

Detective Karl Jenkins, having returned to Luke Smith's house late at night, finds himself engulfed in darkness and silence. The house remains still, with no signs of life or movement. As midnight approaches, Karl decides to take a closer look and quietly exits his car.
  Standing in the cool night air, Karl reaches for his phone, intending to send a text message to Jamie. However, as he begins to type Jamie's name, a flood of memories from their shared past in Queensland overwhelms him. He recalls his nineteenth birthday, when Jamie's absence had sparked a confrontation between them days later.
  The memory of that explosive argument resurfaces, with Karl accusing Jamie of hiding something damaging and Jamie claiming to be in hiding, paranoid and convinced he was being watched. The confrontation had escalated, resulting in Karl striking Jamie, sending him over the edge of a bridge and into the river below.
  As Karl grapples with the guilt and unresolved questions from that fateful day, he remembers a cryptic detail—a small, crumpled piece of scrap paper that Jamie had dropped, bearing the words "Killerton Enterprises." Those two words had haunted Karl for years, a mysterious message that had never quite left his thoughts.
  In the oppressive silence of the night, Karl feels the weight of the past colliding with the present. He ultimately decides against sending the message to Jamie, erasing it from his phone. The scene delves into the complex history between Karl and Jamie, hinting at deeper secrets and unresolved tensions that may be connected to the current investigation.
  As Karl sits in his car, enveloped by the darkness, his mind races with thoughts, theories, and possibilities. The investigation has become more than just a case; it is a journey into a past that Karl has never fully left behind, with answers hidden in the shadows, waiting to be uncovered.
