But I was wrong.
At the very 7pm at seven o’clock in the morning, a loud knock was heard at the main door.
Two uniformed police officers were waiting outside, while their patrol car was parked nearby.
— Are you Sarah Vance? — asked the longest policeman.
— Yes, I am.
— I am Officer Daniels, while this is Officer Cooper. We’d love to talk to you and Julian.
My stomach was tightened.
Julian appeared in the hallway behind me.
The moment he saw the policemen, his face was whitened.
— Mom, what’s going on?
I put my hand on his shoulder to calm him.
Officer Daniels asked if Julian was a student at Westbrook High School and if he had recently bought a wheelchair for a girl named Maya.
— Yes, it’s true, — I responded carefully.
The cops exchanged a look.
— Mrs. Vance, yesterday something else happened and we believe you didn’t find out about it.
