On Saturday morning, Emily arrived at the airport, her heart pounding in her chest. She parked her car and walked through the bustling terminal, weaving through travelers who were blissfully unaware of the emotional storm raging inside her. As she made her way to the international departures area, she spotted Daniel and Sofia in line at the check-in counter. They were laughing, their hands intertwined, oblivious to the world around them.
Emily kept her distance, not wanting to tip Daniel off. She watched them drop off their luggage and proceed towards security, where her plan would come to fruition. Emily had made a discreet call the day before to alert the authorities, explaining her situation and giving them a heads-up about the possible use of a stolen card.
As Daniel and Sofia approached the customs checkpoint, Emily saw two uniformed officers step forward. They were composed but firm, their presence commanding immediate attention. Daniel and Sofia looked confused as the officers addressed them.
