"I came home from the police station to find someone searching my house," Liv said. "Someone must have been looking for something."
"It was the police," I said. "I snuck back to your apartment after the police took you away. I think they were looking for the flash drive."
"It's a good thing they didn't find the secret safe."
"Liv, I need you to bring me the flash drive. Can you do that?" I lowered my voice.
"I think I can do it," Liv said, "But now I'm in my mother's house, in a town. I don't think I can go back to my home for the time being. Because after I left the police station, I found that the police were following me. They may want to use me to find you. The police have been asking me at the station about your whereabouts, and they won't stop until they get the information they want."
"I don't think the police will be following you any more because my father has asked the police to drop the charges against me."
"Is that true?" Liv asked, surprised.
