Abby Murphy was just stepping out of the kitchen when she saw who had arrived —and her face instantly fell.

"Officer, there must be some mistake. Star hasn't leaked any trade secrets. Are you sure you've got the right person?" she blurted out anxiously.

The officer replied, "Whether there's been a mistake isn't for you to decide. Please, miss, we need your cooperation."
