The house at the end of Pelican Road was real, but boarded up and empty for years. A faded sign said it belonged to some trust Marsh had never heard of. He took photos, then spotted fresh tire tracks in the sand out back.
Marsh ran the trust name on his phone and got one hit. The house was managed by the same insurance branch that paid out every Saltcreek claim. His own company owned the house his victims had lied about.

Marsh called his office to report it. The line picked up before it rang, and a calm voice said, 'Saltcreek claims. You're three days out.' Then the call cut off. He stared at the dead house his company owned and realized he was already inside the machine.
