Chapter 49: Framing of the Daye

It was a surprisingly detailed story they put together, elements of truth woven in with both outright lies and with technological fabrications.

They repeated the same story for everyone they spoke to, with only slight changes along the way. Telling the exact same story, word for word, might make someone suspicious someday. Reality doesn’t happen exactly the same way to everyone’s perspectives. Little details here and there to account for different experiences, just enough inconsistency to make it believable, and the story would develop a life of its own.

Officer Daye had started harassing Harley two years ago. He had started off with messages, then had sent her gifts. Some simple gifts, some of them very expensive. No, they had no idea where he got the money to afford the gifts. Maybe he had a secret bank account.
