The Arrival That Changed Everything
Miles away in her downtown office, Olivia Carter was preparing for an important legal case. She was a respected civil rights attorney known for handling difficult cases involving discrimination and injustice.
When her phone rang, she almost ignored it.
But the moment she heard her son's name, everything changed.
Her heart dropped.
She grabbed her coat and rushed out of the building.
By the time Olivia arrived at Maple Drive, she immediately saw what had happened.
Her son was standing in the street surrounded by officers, still shaken from the experience.
She stepped out of her car with confidence.
"What is happening here?" she asked.
Her voice was calm, but everyone could feel her authority.
Victoria stood nearby with her arms crossed.
