Isaiah, Bri, and Detective Harris sat in solemn contemplation, their minds haunted by the chilling revelations of Marco's ordeal within the mental hospital. The darkness that had shrouded the clinic's history was becoming clearer, piece by disturbing piece.

As they discussed their next steps, Detective Harris revealed that the investigation into the clinic's malevolent activities was intensifying. He had managed to secure a warrant to search the clinic thoroughly and collect evidence that would expose Dr. Thornton's heinous deeds.

Together, they formed a plan to return to the clinic, armed with the warrant, and uncover any remaining secrets hidden within its walls. The trio was determined to ensure that justice was served for the innocent victims who had suffered under the doctor's cruel experiments.

Their journey into the heart of darkness was far from over, but their resolve to bring the truth to light burned brighter than ever. With the detective leading the way, they were prepared to confront the horrors that awaited them and finally unveil the clinic's darkest secrets.

Bri's eyes welled up with tears as she grappled with the horrors they had learned about. Her voice trembled as she asked the question that weighed heavily on their minds: "Why didn't anyone see what was going on in that place?"

Detective Harris offered a somber explanation. He explained that during the time when these atrocities were occurring, the police had indeed received reports and complaints about the clinic. However, the clinic was considered a restricted and low-visitation facility, and its operations were shrouded in secrecy. This made it challenging for law enforcement to investigate or take decisive action.

The detective's words only deepened the sense of outrage and frustration that had settled over them. The realization that these innocent children had suffered in silence due to bureaucratic barriers fueled their determination to ensure that justice would finally be served. They would not let the horrors of the past remain hidden any longer.

As they continued their conversation, Detective Harris revealed that the investigations during that time had faced additional challenges. Dr. Thornton was a respected figure in the town, known for his medical expertise and contributions to the community. This had afforded him a degree of influence and protection, making it even more difficult for law enforcement to scrutinize his actions.

Moreover, the children who were victims of the doctor's experiments had often been from marginalized backgrounds, and their voices had gone unheard. Society had failed them, allowing the horrors to persist in the shadows.

Isaiah and Bri shared a collective sense of anger and determination. They were committed to bringing these atrocities to light, no matter the obstacles they faced. The clinic's dark history was a stain on the town's legacy, and they were determined to ensure that the truth would prevail, and justice would finally be served for the innocent souls who had suffered within its walls.

Detective Harris carefully retrieved the file for the fourth victim, Rose, from his bag. The folder held the key to understanding her tragic story and the role she had played in the clinic's dark history.

He began to recount Rose's background, explaining that she came from a wealthy family, a fact that had set her apart from the other children in the clinic. Despite her privileged upbringing, Rose had been a kind and compassionate soul, always seeking to help those less fortunate.

However, her family's wealth had become a source of discord within their household. Rose's brother had resented her desire to give away their riches to those in need, leading to conflict and tension. Tragedy had struck their family when a terrible accident occurred, resulting in their mother's death. Rose's brother, entangled in the aftermath of the accident, had ended up in prison.
