"Walk me through everything," the officer said. "From the beginning."
Emma straightened slightly before answering.
Her explanation came cleanly and professionally.
"Amelia arrived in Velaris City yesterday for the talent show and checked into her hotel that evening just before the show was about to start. At some point afterward, early morning of today, she left the hotel without informing anyone on her protection detail."
The officer continued taking notes without interrupting.
"We had no advance warning and no indication where she was going," Emma continued. "The first sign something was wrong came when her emergency alarm triggered."
She hesitated briefly before adding,
"Our unit didn't have the technical capability to trace the signal directly, so we relayed it to Vanguard headquarters and waited for location analysis."
The officer glanced up briefly at that.
