A different approach
Uneasy about the growing threat to the second family, Mary realized she needed a new strategy to uncover the truth behind the mystery. Relying solely on the families’ stories wouldn’t suffice. It was time to call in a favor. An old friend in the police department came to mind—someone she knew she could trust. Without hesitation, she picked up the phone and dialed Detective Harris. As the line connected, she said, “I need your help with something… unusual.”

Background checks
Mary carefully outlined the situation to Detective Harris, stressing the importance of discretion. “Could you run background checks on Bruno’s previous owners?” she asked. Harris didn’t miss a beat. “Of course. I’ll see what I can dig up,” he assured her. After thanking him, Mary ended the call, a sense of renewed determination settling over her. With the police now involved, she felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe they could uncover the truth behind the troubling pattern that surrounded Bruno and his repeated returns.
