Sebastian folded his hands neatly on the table.
"I won't take much of your time, Officer."
"I've only come to ask for one favor."
"A favor?"
The officer frowned.
"Regarding my daughter's case."
The officer immediately sighed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Newton, but if you're here to ask us to release your daughter, that's beyond my authority."
Sebastian calmly shook his head.
"No."
"I know exactly what my daughter has done."
"I'm not asking you to interfere with the investigation."
He paused before continuing.
"I'm only asking that the investigation remain as confidential as possible."
"Rumors have already begun circulating."
"I'd rather prevent any further information from spreading before the investigation concludes."
The officer nodded thoughtfully.
"That has always been our policy."
"We're already limiting the release of information."
"Unfortunately, we can't control rumors that have already spread outside the station."
"I understand."
Sebastian gave a small nod.
