The Chief had given a quick rundown of the situation in Summerfield, and it was clear that getting Sophie out was going to be a tough nut to crack.

"That's correct. Our team is still investigating, but for now, Ms. Sophie, you'll have to bear some inconvenience as a suspect," the Chief replied, signaling his officers to take action.

The police moved in swiftly, taking Sophie into custody. Meanwhile, two young men, still on their knees, were being held by the Aldridge family's bodyguards.

The Chief glanced at the young men, "These two were taken as hostages. They need to come with us for questioning. Please release them."
