The Real Reason Revealed
Melissa barely registered the introductions. Her mind fixated on Officer Davis’s final sentence: Tell us about that ring. Everything suddenly aligned into a chilling realization. This wasn’t about mistaken identity, or some clerical error. This was about the one thing she had thought was harmless—the ring her ex-boyfriend gave her years ago. “So that’s what this is all about…” she thought silently, stunned.
It was almost hard to believe. Of all the things to get dragged into a police station over, a ring was the last thing she’d have expected. She had assumed it was worth a little money, maybe vintage at best—but nothing dangerous or illegal. Now she wasn’t so sure. Clearly, it meant something to the police—and not in the way she had imagined.
