#88 “Sophia has been Arrested in London.”
Police cars quickly surrounded the building, their red and blue lights flashing in a disorienting rhythm. The commotion outside left Sophia and Alexander in a state of heightened tension, their eyes straining to get a better view of the approaching scene.
“We have to get out of here,” Alexander urged, grabbing Sophia’s hand as she continued to peer out the window. Sophia turned to him, her voice a hushed murmur. “It’s no use.”
Perplexed, Alexander’s brow furrowed. “Why do you say that? Don’t give up.”
Sophia responded with a bitter laugh. ” I’m not giving up. But think about it. How long before they find our fingerprints and realize we were here? You, Alexander Stone, can’t hide in plain sight, and I’m a lawyer. If we run, it’ll look like we have something to hide, which we don’t. We need to stay and tell the truth.”
Alexander gazed at her with a mix of admiration and surprise, appreciating her quick and analytical thinking.
“Alright, we stay. So, what’s our story when the police arrive?” he inquired.
“The truth,” Sophia replied, locking her gaze with his. But their conversation was abruptly interrupted when a team of police officers violently breached the front door of the room. Reacting swiftly, Sophia discarded the gun, ensuring it hit the ground before they noticed her.
