Inspector Williams, the officer on duty, listened to her story attentively. When Emily placed the folder of evidence on the table, his eyes widened.
“Grand lararseny,” he muttered as he reviewed the documents. “This is enough for a whole organization. They are returning from abroad soon. If we do not act, they could escape.”
“Understood. I will pass the case to Detective Vargas,” he shouted down the hall.
Maria, a woman in her mid-40s, dressed in a formal suit, entered the office. Detective Vargas looked like a person who did not mess around.
“What do we have?” she asked as she sat down.
Williams summarized the situation for her. Vargas took the documents and began to study them with professional interest.
“Good work,” she sat after 10 minutes. “Emily, where did you get such detailed material?”
“I accidentally discovered my husband’s plans and decided to do my own investigation.”
“Breaking into someone else’s office is a crime.”
“I used the key my husband gave me personally and I did not steal any documents. I only photographed them.”
