# **Epilogue

Dawn After Dark**

The city was slowly waking up. The fog of the night's mystery began to dissipate, and the first rays of sunlight reflected off the wet cobblestones. Jakub stood on the edge of an old canal, gazing into the distance. Beside him, Argo sat still, staring into the morning light.

They had discovered too much in recent weeks—the dark secrets of an abandoned theater, the labyrinthine sewers, the recesses of a psychiatric hospital, and a train riddled with evidence of crime. Each adventure revealed new layers of corruption, each mystery leading them closer to the truth about Radecki and his criminal network.

"It's been a long night," said the ally, who now stood beside them, holding the documents seized from Radecki. "But at least the city is safe now."

Jacob nodded, looking at the dog. Argo rested his head on his leg, as if in thanks for their shared struggle. His eyes held pride and peace—pride in duty fulfilled and peace that evil had been vanquished.

"You never know what else lurks in the darkness," Jacob murmured. "But as long as we're together, no mystery will remain unsolved."

The ally smiled faintly.

"That may be true," he said, "but at least now people can breathe without fear."

The city was coming to life, and the echoes of recent events were slowly fading from its streets. Old buildings and vaults that had hid dark secrets for years now seemed calmer, less threatening. But Jacob knew this was the calm before another storm, that new mysteries, new shadows, could emerge at any moment.

Argo stood, sniffed the air, then looked at Jacob, ready for another mission. The commissioner smiled and petted the dog. "Let's go," he said quietly. "The world doesn't stop at night's fog. Many more mysteries await us."

And so Jacob, Argo, and their ally entered a new day, aware that although the night's shadows had vanished, the city's secrets never rest. The shadows receded, but the adventures continued—ready to draw them into new, dark tales, full of mystery, suspense, and unexpected twists.

Dawn illuminated the city, and with it the hope that justice, even in the darkest corners, will always find its way to the light.
