The surveillance was active.
Shortly after Dean left, several police cars arrived at Aisha's residence, locking down the place. Only after professionals finished searching the house did they leave, taking the recording device and the bodies and belongings of Aisha and her companion.
This took Dean by surprise, as it meant the person backing Aisha very likely did not have a police identity. He had thought it was an inside job.
The police acted swiftly. The people collecting evidence were also very professional; their methods didn't seem like standard crime scene techniques. Dean guessed that by tomorrow morning, the Los Angeles police would issue a crisis PR statement. This statement would provide a detailed explanation of the Sarah incident, aiming to prevent the Black community from thinking Sarah and the others had been silenced by the police or "suicided."
