True to his word, Harrison did exactly what he promised.

The email detailed the case process extensively and provided such comprehensive evidence that it was enough to close the case on the spot.

The sheriff, after toiling for so long with nothing to show for it, was left without words.

The police then released another statement, indicating that the wife had abruptly left the country, believed to be leaving for Riowert.

For a time, everyone was somewhat speechless.

They’d been completely taken advantage of once more.

“Alright, I’ve been burned before. Next time I hear any gossip about Ben and Susan, I’ll take it with a grain of salt.”
