- After our meeting at the cafe, I keep thinking about what Charlotte said.
- Press accuracy, the social impact of false news, her family...
- Her voice echoes in my head, telling me not to forget my professional ethics and integrity as a reporter.
- You: (When I came for the job interview, Mr. Kane asked me what principles we should follow when writing news reports.)
- You: (The answer was truthfulness, objectivity, and independence... I've never forgotten that.)
- I constantly remind myself to stay true to what I believe in. I shall be responsible for every decision I make.
- After thinking things through, I decide to meet up with Prosecutor Boseman and tell her about what happened.
- You: (I should change into more presentable clothes before heading to the prosecutor's office.)
- I arrive at the prosecutor's office and is greeted by her secretary.
- Secretary: Are you Miss Colvin? Please hold on.
- She reappears and invites me inside after informing the prosecutor of my arrival.
- Secretary: Sorry to keep you waiting, Miss Colvin. This way, please.
- You: Thank you.
- The secretary nods with a smile, and proceeds to knock on the door of the prosecutor's office.
- Diane Boseman: Come in.
- Prosecutor Boseman looks up from her desk and greets me with a nod.
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin. Please take a seat.
- You: Thank you. Prosecutor Boseman, I came here today to talk about the interview.
- Diane Boseman: I assume you're referring to your interview with Councilman Harris?
- You: Yes. I gave you a call before I went to the Harris Mansion...
- Prosecutor Boseman told me about the secret documents in the councilman's study, hoping I could find evidence of his crimes.
- Diane Boseman: Yes, I remember that well. What were the results of your investigation, Miss Colvin?
- You: I sneaked into Councilman Harris' study like you told me to.
- You: I found some things, but I'm not sure they're useful...
- Prosecutor Boseman's eyes glint with excitement, but she quickly composes herself.
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, do you mind showing me what you found? We might be able to discover some clues.
- Hand over the evidence
- I nod and prepare to hand over what I found, but Charlotte's face suddenly flashes in my mind.
- I stop in my tracks, remembering what Charlotte told me the last time we met.
- You: (She reminded me of the undesirable consequences of publishing unverified news.)
- You: (It's going to be a huge blow to Charlotte and Councilman Harris...)
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin? Is anything wrong?
- Prosecutor Boseman's voice snaps me out of my stupor. She looks at me with concern.
- You: It's nothing...
- I remove the items from my bag, the pieces of evidence feeling heavy in my hands.
- Diane Boseman: Are these what you found? Please leave them to me.
- You: Yes. I found them in a secret safe in the councilman's study.
- I hand over all the items to Prosecutor Boseman with a heavy heart.
- You: I've looked through all the items, but other than Officer Taylor's file and the phone book...
- You: I can't tell what these records are.
- Diane Boseman: Let me take a look. Hmm... They seem to be encrypted.
- Diane Boseman: Not to worry. I'll get the intelligence team to analyse them.
- You: Does this mean Walter Taylor's death has something to do with Councilman Harris?
- Diane Boseman: The file alone is not enough to support that conclusion. But it's a reasonable suspicion.
- You: You're right. We need more evidence. Let me know if I can help with anything else...
- Prosecutor Boseman looks up from the pile of evidence and regards me seriously.
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, I have a proposal that I hope you'll consider.
- You: What is it?
- Diane Boseman: As you know, being a prosecutor, I'm committed to fighting crime and serving justice.
- Diane Boseman: But that's not something I can do alone. That's why I'm building a professional team.
- You: Professional team?
- Diane Boseman: Yes, an investigation team. I hope it will become a powerful weapon against crime.
- You: A crime-fighting team...
- Diane Boseman: I may be the one leading the team, but justice is what truly drives us.
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin, I officially invite you to join the team.
- You: Huh? Am I qualified?
- Diane Boseman: Of course. You've shown remarkable tact, courage, and critical thinking. Your commitment to pursuing the truth is in line with our objective.
- Diane Boseman: I truly admire the competence and qualities you've displayed in the investigation process.
- You: Thank you, Prosecutor Boseman. I'm really honoured.
- Diane Boseman: Forgive me for being obtrusive. I truly feel that you'd be a great asset to the team.
- You: But I have a full-time job at the Gotham Times, so...
- Diane Boseman: Don't worry, you can go back home and think about it before giving me your answer. Let me know if you have any doubts.
- You: I understand. I'll consider it and let you know once I've decided.
- Diane Boseman: I look forward to working with you, Miss Colvin.
- The sudden invitation throws me off. I'm honestly surprised that Prosecutor Boseman thinks so highly of me.
- You: (It sounds like a really important job... I need to think this through carefully.)
- Don't hand over the evidence
- I keep hearing Charlotte's words in my head, unable to forget the pleading look in her eyes.
- There's a heavy, suffocating feeling in my chest.
- You: (I'm suddenly filled with a strong unease...)
- Diane Boseman: Miss Colvin? Is anything wrong?
- You: It's nothing. I'm sorry, Prosecutor Boseman... I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.
- Diane Boseman: Why do you say that?
- You: I sneaked into Councilman Harris' study, but I couldn't find the documents you mentioned over the phone call.
- Diane Boseman: But you said you found something...
- You: Yes, I discovered some kind of mechanism in the study.
- I briefly describe the tiger statue I found and what I did with it.
- You: I couldn't figure out how it worked. I was still stuck when Councilman Harris returned to the mansion.
- Prosecutor Boseman's gaze hardens, and her face grows stern.
- Diane Boseman: Does that mean you didn't find anything useful?
- I dig my nails into my palms and try to relax, unnerved by her question.
- You: I suppose.. I'm sorry for letting you down.
- I thought Prosecutor Boseman would ask me to leave, but she softens her expression and sighs.
- Diane Boseman: That's unfortunate. I was hoping we'd make progress in the investigation of Jessica's case.
- My heart clenches as I remember Jessica, the poor mentally ill woman I met in the hospital.
- You: Jessica...She suffered so much in life. I can't believe she passed on just like that.
- Diane Boseman: I've encountered countless victims like Jessica throughout my career as a law enforcer.
- Diane Boseman: Even though the victims have already passed on, I tell myself it's my duty as a prosecutor to seek justice for them.
- Diane Boseman: Their family, their friends, and the public deserve to know the truth. It's the least I can do for them.
- Diane Boseman: I'm sure you understand how I feel, being a reporter yourself.
- You: Yes...I often think about Jessica and what happened to her.
- Diane Boseman: Unfortunately, our investigation has to be stalled because we have no new evidence. I only hope Jessica will be able to rest in peace.
- I feel a lump in my throat, overcome with grief when I remember Jessica.
- Diane Boseman: I want justice for Jessica. I will push forward with the investigations if we have sufficient evidence.
- You: Yes, I understand...
- Prosecutor Boseman pours me a cup of tea and pats the back of my hand in encouragement.
- You: I'll try to get close to Councilman Harris again and make up for my failure...
- Diane Boseman: I don't mean to blame you, Miss Colvin. But I must remind you...
- Diane Boseman: Councilman Harris is where he is today not just because of his competence. He's also incredibly scheming and resourceful.
- Diane Boseman: Knowing him, your actions today have probably alerted him already.
- You: I guess I've messed up everything...
- Diane Boseman: I'm afraid so. If Councilman Harris becomes suspicious, I'll have to cease the investigations on my side.
- You: I'm sorry, Prosecutor Boseman. It's all my fault.
- Diane Boseman: Now's not the time to blame yourself. Let's think about what we can do to salvage the situation.
- Diane Boseman: Please try to recall any details you might have missed out, Miss Colvin.
- You: I've told you everything I know. I don't think there's anything else...
- Prosecutor Boseman picks up her teacup and takes a sip in silence, her face obscured by the steam.
- Diane Boseman: In that case, we can only prepare for the worst.
- You: Prepare for the worst?
- Diane Boseman: As you know, the elections are coming and Councilman Harris still retains a high level of support. That means he will mostly likely be re-elected.
- Diane Boseman: When that happens, he will gain even more power, and no one will be able to stop him.
- Diane Boseman: Once he has New York City under his control...
- Diane Boseman: I believe you can imagine the consequences, Miss Colvin.
- You: (New York will fall into darkness, taken over by crime, and there will be no one to stand up to injustice...)
- You: (Perhaps no one will be able to oppose Councilman Harris when the time comes.)
- Diane Boseman: Please think about what you can do to prevent that from happening, Miss Colvin.
- You: I don't know... Maybe I could get Mr. Kane to arrange another interview.
- I see a hint of rage on Prosecutor Boseman's face, but it quickly vanishes. I wonder if i imagined it.
- Diane Boseman: I apologise, Miss Colvin. I need to attend to my duties.
- You: I'm the one who should be apologising. For failing your expectations and disrupting your work...
- Diane Boseman: Let's stop here for today. Feel free to call me if you remember anything important.
- You: I understand. I will.
- I bid farewell to Prosecutor Boseman. As I leave her office, I realise belatedly that my back is drenched in cold sweat...
