Debra’s eyes narrowed. “You framed Michael, didn’t you? Someone put you up to this.”
The woman's face paled. “What are you talking about? He hit me.”
Debra leaned back in her chair. I've done my homework on you. You're not even one of Michael's fans. Why were
you at the stuthat day?”
The woman hesitated for a moment, but then, as if reciting a well-rehearsed script, she snapped back, “l am a
fan. | went there to get his autograph, and he attacked me. Just because he’s famous doesn’t mean he can treat
people like dirt. Michael is nothing without our support.”

“I heard about it in a fan group.”
“Are you in the group?
“Of course.”
“Tellthe group ID. I'll check it.”
The woman froze, and Debra raised an eyebrow. “You see, the fans who have access to Michael's personal

You've done your part. But if you keep trying to lie your way out of this, | promise you'll regret it. You won't be
able to stay in this city.”
“You...”
“Relax. If you cooperate, you'll get paid twice. What could be better than that?”
The woman's defenses began to crumble. A few moments later, Debra emerged from the interrogation. room, a
satisfied smile on her face. As expected, the woman had agreed to settle things privately, changing her story.
Once outside the police station, Michael stopped Debra and asked, “What did you promise her?”
Debra shrugged. “Just money. People like her will work for whoever pays. As long as you give them enough, they

Michael frowned, shaking his head. “But doing this makes it seem like we're admitting guilt. | didn’t lay a hand
on her, and you know it.”
Debra patted Michael's arm reassuringly. “Don’t worry. You know me, | always get even. If I've been
