Part 2: The Man Who Came For Her
« There she is! » the man shouted. « I’ve been looking for her for hours! »
Sofia immediately began to cry.
Elena got up slowly.
Something about the girl’s instincts didn’t seem like those of someone seeing a worried relative.
It seemed like pure terror.
« Who are you? » Elena asked.
“I’m her uncle,” he replied quickly. “That girl is always causing trouble. She runs away, steals, lies…”
Sofia shook her head desperately.
-No no…
But she could barely speak of fear.
The man took a step forward.
—Come here right now.
Sofia hid behind Elena.
And that was enough.
Elena already knew.
The man tried to smile nervously.
—Officer, thank you for helping her. I’ll take care of it from here.
Elena didn’t move.
—Do you have custody documents?
The man hesitated for barely a second.
And Elena saw it.
—Of course… they’re at home.
—Then we’ll go look for them together.
The man’s expression changed.
Colder.
More dangerous.
—There’s no need to complicate this.
Elena crossed her arms.
—Yes, it is necessary.
The silence grew heavy.
Then Sofia whispered something behind her.
So low he could barely hear it.
—Please… don’t let me go with him…
Elena felt ice running down her back.
The man lost his patience.
—That girl belongs to me!
The phrase caused the entire police station to fall silent.
Because nobody talks about a child like that.
Elena slowly took a step forward.
—Repeat that.
The man understood too late what he had just said.
He tried to correct himself.
