Outside the Adams family residence, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, unknown to them, their every move had not gone unnoticed. The local police had been quietly trailing them, their sights set firmly on Emma and Michael.Inside the family home, the kitchen was busy with activity. Emma was sipping her morning coffee with a mischievous flash in her eyes. Michael was at the table, engrossed in his laptop.
