It was out head who called , he immediately asked me to come to the station ,

It was my mind that beckoned me to go to the station. I swiftly grabbed my car keys and made my way there. As soon as I arrived, I hurriedly rushed to my superior's office, eager to know if he had any information about Emily . However, to my astonishment, he questioned,        " Who even called you?" I was taken aback and bewildered by his response. Pleadingly, I requested him to inform me if he had indeed called me. He firmly replied, "No, I didn't have any reason to call you." Disheartened, I turned around and massaged my temples, feeling a surge of frustration. In a fit of frustration, I let out a loud shout, hoping to release some of the tension building up inside me.

After some time had passed, I made my way back to my house and couldn't help but ponder if she had called her best friend on that fateful night. The perplexing part was that her phone was back in the house, which left me utterly astonished. The shock was so overwhelming that I found myself collapsing to my knees. Eventually, I stumbled upon her phone and decided to approach my mom to inquire if anyone had returned that night, specifically. To my surprise, my mom confirmed that no one had come back.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to check the Ola app. It was then that I discovered her last purchase had been made on the night of my birthday. Without wasting any time, I rushed to the Ola company and requested the person's details. Armed with the information provided, I immediately headed to his house. Uncertain of what awaited me, I entered the house and confronted him, struggling to control my anger. I showed him her photo and asked if he knew her. To my astonishment, he replied affirmatively, but mentioned that she had booked a cab that night and was not present when he went to pick her up from the designated location.

Seeking further clarification, I questioned him again, only to receive the same response. Frustrated and determined to get to the bottom of this, I took him to the police station. Despite subjecting him to various forms of punishment, he stubbornly stuck to his story. Feeling defeated, I slammed the door shut and stepped outside, seeking solace in a cigarette.
