“I didn’t hurt Janiya, nor did I damage your property. Why should I be the one to pay you?”
The owner pointed at me angrily and shouted, “My staff and Janiya both said that you pushed her! How dare you still deny it?”
Feeling very indignant, I retorted, “Can’t you see? This was all planned by Janiya! How could her testimony count? She must’ve bribed your staff, too. Officer, how can you just believe in one side of the story? Shouldn’t you check the surveillance footage before arresting me?”
“She’s right agreement. incident.”

But the owner refused. He Looked me up and down with disgust and said, “There is no footage. The CCTV cameras are in an overhaul. You must’ve known that, which is why you keep denying that you did it!”
In the end, because of the testimony of the owner, the saleswoman, and Janiya, I was temporarily detained.
In the detention room, there was one other woman. She was sitting in the corner with messy hair and dirty clothes. Her eyes were glassy and she kept mumbling something, looking mentally unwell.
I listened to her muttering carefully and found that the woman kept saying, “Adam’s going to sell Roz Town…”
Stunned, I hurried to ask her, “Roz Town is going to be sold? What are you talking about?”
When I got close to her, I was surprised to find that her belly was round and bulging. She was pregnant!
“Do you believe me? Do you actually believe me?” ALL of a sudden, the woman’s dull eyes Lit up. She suddenly grabbed me and said excitedly, “Oh, my God! It’s nice to meet you. I’m Emily!”

Emily looked around cautiously and pulled me closer. She whispered, “I’m not crazy. I swear, Adam’s been planning to sell the town. He’s going to kick all the residents out!”
“What?” I gasped in shock.
But before I could ask for more details, the door to the detention room was opened and a policewoman came in to take Emily away.
“You ran away again, you Lunatic!” The policewoman barked, restraining her aggressively. When she saw me, she paused for a moment. “What’s going on with you? Do you believe her? She’s crazy. Don’t take her seriously. Even her family abandoned her. She was left here to rot a long time ago.”
“Bullshit! You’re the crazy one here triggered. She shouted hysterically, “You call yourself a policewoman? You don’t believe me no matter what I say! Sooner or later, everyone will regret not listening to me! I’m telling you-Adam has betrayed Gale. Roz Town will be over soon!”
Emily seemed to have been
The policewoman looked annoyed. “Shut up or I’LL beat the crap out of you!”
Even though Emily was pregnant, the policewoman held up her electric baton, poised to strike.
I hurried to stop her.
