529.
Edward's favorite number. He loved it. Simply because it's a square number.
23. The square root of 529. His second favorite number. Today is October 23.

I wake up in a haze. I expected to be cramped in a dryer but instead I'm spread out on a hospital cot.

An officer near me speaks. "Jade, correct?"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zBVirDQ2N
"Yes," I croak.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKS09419Hl
"May I ask you what the number 5-2-9 means for you?"
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnUedJRRVc
Wow it's been a while since I've actually heard someone say it like that. I usually head five hundred and twenty nine, not just five-two-nine.

"It... represents the mental and emotional utopia or paradise that remains unharmed after the death of my lover," I say neutrally.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nytosFkZX
The officer looks shocked at my response. "I was just wondering... Since you've been repeating the number in your sleep without even realizing you're in a room with that number."
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHAHQlL0fr
I say nothing.

"Let's get to the point. You are going to be charged because you broke into Brandsmart. You—"

"But I didn't steal anything! I was... simply on my way to give the security guard a meal since he looked hungry," I interject.

He chuckles some. "Miss Jade, that 'officer' is dead. Were you referring to the dead officer that was never hired by Brandsmart?"

"What?! Of course he works there! I saw him in the uniform and—"

"I don't have time for games. We took a blood sample of the guy and got his identity and the manager of Brandsmart showed me a list of all hired and fired employees of the last 5 years. This man, Derek White, was fired about 3 and a half years ago, after being caught and arrested for killing a man in some park a few years ago."

And finally all the puzzle pieces are fitting together.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0gSbrGCFW
It was a setup.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A8e7fqCtt
"Officer? May I ask on what date did this 'officer' kill a man?" I ask.
656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHUGAor1zp
"It was May 29."
