Karl thought about it a moment and returned, "I do remember. She drugged you and hired someone else to molest you. This case was later transferred to another officer, and I was not involved throughout. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" His instinct told him that Joyce was asking this question for an unusual reason.
"Maybe. I met Lauren at the detention center and talked to her." Joyce thought about it, "I have no proof, just a feeling alone. Even if it was really Lauren who drugged me, she wasn't capable of planning seamlessly to hire someone else to molest me. It always felt like a mismatch, something wasn't right."
Karl narrowed his eyes and remembered that Officer Longman had withdrawn the case.
At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it because it was not a serious case. He also could not do every case personally.
"I got it. I'll check it out." He said seriously.
"Another thing, in the detention center, a female prison guard named Georgia once took me to the interrogation dark room in the middle of the night in private and whipped me." Joyce gave a brief statement of what happened that night.
"How can there be such a thing?! It's so dark!" Juanita slapped the table in anger, "Why didn't you tell me, it must have hurt, are you okay now?"
"Well, the wound is scabbed over, it's okay."
Karl's handsome brow furrowed and his eyes narrowed.
"The most crucial thing, I heard, Georgia disappeared the day before yesterday!" Joyce said squarely.
"Missing?" Karl froze, "A prison guard in a management position, missing? This is no longer an ordinary criminal case."
He realized the seriousness of the problem.
He reminded, "Joyce, things are not normal. You have to be careful. I'll go back to the police station and find out what's going on."
Joyce nodded, and that's what Christian reminded her of earlier.
"Better put a location system in your phone. Just in case." Karl suggested.
