When they reached the police station, the officer’s attitude shifted noticeably. He walked with a sense of pride, almost strutting as he escorted Jenny inside. She noticed his chest puffed out, a triumphant grin on his face as if he had just solved a major case.
“Look what we’ve got here,” he announced loudly as they entered, gesturing towards Jenny and the bag of replicas. The other officers and some higher-ups gathered around, their expressions turning from curiosity to admiration. “Great job,” one of the senior officers clapped him on the back. “Catching a thief red-handed,” he added, looking at Jenny with a mix of suspicion and approval.
