The Resort Between the Rivers

The Resort Between the Rivers - Part One: The Disappearance of Daniel Thompson

The project began without incident.

Land was assembled. Interests aligned. Preliminary plans moved forward as expected. Nothing about the development suggested instability-until Daniel Thompson disappeared.

At first, the situation appears contained. A missing individual. A limited inquiry. A matter that should resolve with time and procedure.

But small irregularities begin to surface.

A last known location that raises questions.
A timeline that does not hold.
Connections to land and filings that seem routine-until they are not.

Captain Jack "Hawk" Hawkins is drawn into the early stages of the inquiry, where jurisdiction is unclear and information is incomplete. What should be a straightforward investigation begins to resist definition, shifting just beyond reach with each attempt to fix it in place.

The disappearance does not stop the project.

It alters it.

Because from the beginning, something about this development was never as simple as it appeared.

And some questions are not meant to be answered all at once.
