The room’s atmosphere shifted as the officers laid out a strategy. “We need a confession,” Officer Johnson explained. “Something concrete.” The plan was to wire Kiara with a recording device and have her meet Ethan. They needed her to bring up the ring subtly, leading him to reveal its true origins.
“This won’t be without risk,” another officer warned. “If Ethan suspects anything, he could get aggressive.” His serious tone made the weight of the situation even clearer. “We’ll be nearby, monitoring everything, but you’ll need to tread carefully. This is a dangerous path, and there’s no guarantee of success.”
