“Officer, did you hear that? How can he talk like that? He didn’t believe the girl from the start! She knew he doubted her, so of course, she prepared evidence. Isn’t that normal?”
I tried to explain, but no one listened.
The officer held the report in his hands and slowly unfolded it. A hush fell over everyone, and all eyes locked on the page.
At the same time, a notification popped up on my phone from an unfamiliar number.
[After today, you’re completely finished, Allie. This is my first gift to you.]
Before I had time to process those words, a heavy thud sounded from a distance.
The entire crowd erupted in panic.
“Someone jumped! Someone jumped! Help!”
“That poor girl must’ve died with resentment. She won’t let that bastard go even as a ghost!”
The officer froze. Then he shoved the report into my hands and sprinted toward the commotion without looking back.
“That kid is yours! You’ll never clear your name now!”
