The Emotional Aftermath

Overwhelmed by the night's events and the realisation of Detective Jenkins' actions, Detective Lahey breaks down in her car, grappling with guilt and self-loathing.

Having fled Luke Smith's house with the USB device and Jamie Greyson's phone, Detective Sarah Lahey found herself sitting in her car, gripped by the emotional aftermath of the night's events. The shock of discovering the dead body and the realisation that Detective Karl Jenkins had likely committed the murder left her trembling uncontrollably. As tears mixed with the blood from her own injury, Sarah was consumed by anguish and self-loathing. She pleaded with the universe, hoping the victim was not her cousin, Luke. The weight of her own actions, of becoming complicit in Karl's crime, bore down on her. In that moment of despair, Sarah expressed a profound hatred for the city, for Karl, and most of all, for herself, recognising how far she had strayed from her own principles in the name of love.
