83. Escaping

Detective Smith waits a bit for Officer Wilson and the other officer to walk away. Then, without giving it a second thought, she opens the door slightly. Making sure nobody sees her, she leaves the building. However, just as she gets out onto the street, she bumps into…

Laura: Natalie! What are you doing here?

Natalie: It’s urgent… A messenger arrived not long ago with this envelope for me. It says: “This is for Laura. Tell her, this time, NOT TO TELL ANYONE”.

Laura: How odd. What’s inside?

Natalie: I don’t know, I haven’t looked. Open it.

Laura: It’s the memory card! But, how is that possible? Turner destroyed it. But it’s the same card from the picture. It has paint on top of it.

Natalie: Laura… Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.

Laura: No worries, I’ll tell you on the way.

Natalie: Where are we going?

Laura: To save my son. And then to catch this corrupt man, Turner!
