Threatening Michael
Michael remained silent, refusing to respond to Officer Jack’s direct questions. Frustrated but determined, Jack shifted tactics. “We know you walk to that factory every single day,” he said firmly. “We know what you and your colleagues are doing there is illegal, and we know most of them are homeless. Do you want us to arrest everyone for breaking into an abandoned building? Think about what that could do to their lives.” Jack’s words hung heavily in the room, a calculated threat designed to push Michael to speak.

It wasn’t the approach Jack had hoped to take, but Michael’s stubborn silence left him no alternative. If Michael wasn’t going to tell the truth on his own, Jack had to apply pressure. The officer watched closely as Michael’s expression shifted, a mixture of shock and fear crossing his face. The threat had done its job, breaking the barrier of silence that had protected Michael’s secret for so long.
