Lauren stood before the towering building, its stark white walls gleaming beneath the sun. The police crest atop the roof

rk whit shimmered like a silent warning–a symbol of justice, of consequences.

Her heart twisted with conflicting emotions. Fear. Resolve.

This was the end of the road. But it was also the only road left–for Mia

She stepped into the station, every step heavy and deliberate.

The front hall was quiet. A single officer manned the desk.

“I want to turn myself in

The officer’s expression shifted instantly. He straightened in his seat.

Turn yourself in? For what?”

Lauren pulled off her mask and sunglasses..

“I killed someone.”

His pupils contracted.

He hadn’t expected a murder confession–not like this. Not from someone who looked so frail, so ghost–like.

Without a word, he stepped out from behind the desk, approached her with care, and snapped a pair of cold steel cuffs onto her wrists.

The moment the cuffs locked in place, Lauren trembled.

The sensation was far too familiar. For five years, it had been routine.

But five years ago, she’d worn them for someone else’s crime.

This time, she wore them willingly–for Mia.

As the officer led her into the interrogation room, Lauren closed her eyes.

How ridiculous, the thought. All my life, I’ve been a replacement–for blame, for pain, for justice.

Inside, the interrogation room was small and airless. Oppressive.

“Sit,” the officer instructed, setting a notebook on the desk, his pen poised.

Lauren sat. Her hands clutched the edge of the chair, knuckles white.

“Tell me everything. Who did you kill? When? Where? How? And why?”

His questions came sharp and fast.

Lauren inhaled deeply. Then she began.

“I killed Joe. Taylor. Lucas. And

Her voice was dry, ragged.

With each pame, the officer’s eyes widened further. The mental image forming in his head grew darker, bloodier.

Could this fragile woman really be a cold–blooded killer?

He wrote it down slowly, word by word. “And your motive?”

Lauren shut her eyes.

And then, like pulling poison from an old wound, she told the truth. Every last bit.

Joe’s attempted assault. Taylor’s deception. Lancas’s betrayal. The beatings in prison.

She didn’t embellish. She didn’t dramatize,

She simply told the truth.

The truth was damning enough.

The officer’s hand began to tremble with the speed of his writing. He had never heard anything like this before. He’d never imagined anyone could endure so much and still sit here, breathing.

He repeated the questions over and over, digging into every corner of her story. Cross–examining. Confirming details.

But her answers never changed.

Eventually, he closed his notebook.

“That’s enough for now. We’ll be transferring you for holding while we investigate further.”
