Detective’s Advice
Detective Harris, who was leading the investigation, warned Michael and Loretta to keep everything as normal as possible. “Act like nothing has changed,” he advised firmly. “Don’t let Nicole or anyone else know that we’ve contacted the police.” They both understood the importance of secrecy and agreed to follow his instructions carefully. Harris emphasized, “If she gets tipped off, it could ruin the entire investigation.” The seriousness of his words made them more determined to be cautious.
Michael and Loretta nodded in agreement, realizing how crucial it was to maintain this delicate balance. Their lives now depended on a careful act of normalcy while waiting for the right moment to expose the truth. Every move had to be calculated to protect Cathy and not compromise the ongoing case.
