Ominous call
Four days later, Ellen’s cell phone rings and she is told that the Social Services Department needs her there as soon as possible. The next day, as she walked down the corridor to the social welfare office again, she heard her footsteps echoing loudly. I was led to a private room at the back of the building, and when I opened the door, I found a police officer in a suit standing next to the officer in charge. It was not normal for the police to be present at a social welfare application. Ellen notices the strange atmosphere.
