Katrina's face flushed with embarrassment as the weight of her own lie crashed down on her. She had been so confident, so sure that she could manipulate the situation in her favor, but now she stood exposed. The head officer's words rang in her ears, and she realized she had miscalculated terribly. The authority she thought she had was crumbling before her eyes.
