Jimena looked up at him, her expression a mix of gratitude and apprehension. “Will I see my mom again?”

Morales knelt to her level. “We’ll find her, and we’ll make sure she’s okay. You’re very brave, Jimena. You did the right thing today.”

She nodded again, this time with a small, tentative smile. The road ahead would be challenging, but Morales was determined to ensure that Jimena’s bravery would not go unrewarded—that she would find safety and healing beyond the shadows of that house.

And as they drove away, Morales knew that the truth, once uncovered, would bring justice, and with it, a new beginning for Jimena and her family.
