Observing a Secret Encounter

Sarah witnesses a mysterious interaction between Sergeant Claiborne and Louise Jeffries in the courtyard, piquing her curiosity.

Distracted by the realisation that she had once again misplaced her phone, Detective Sarah Lahey ventured through the maze-like corridors of the old, red brick police station. As she neared the alcove housing the lifts, a flicker of movement caught her attention. Peering through the square windows of the doors leading to the enclosed courtyard, Sarah witnessed Sergeant Claiborne engaged in a conversation with Louise Jeffries. The intimacy of their interaction, with the Sergeant gently holding Louise's elbow and whispering in her ear, struck Sarah as unusual and out of place. Driven by curiosity, Sarah cautiously moved closer, desperate to overhear their conversation and uncover the nature of their secretive meeting.
