Kiara receives a phone call to attend another party the officers are having. Though she tries to refuse, she soon gives in. The party takes place at an upscale home rather than a hotel, and Kiara is paid $500 up front.
When she arrives, she wanders outside to the patio, where she briefly gazes at the starry sky. A woman abruptly pulls her away to speak privately. She, too, is a police officer, and she explains why Kiara was brought into the station for questioning: An officer died by suicide and left behind a letter revealing not only the sex-trafficking parties but also the names of the officers who participated. The officer, whose name is Sandra, tells Kiara that she has read the transcript of Kiara’s interrogation, which falsely reports that Kiara took responsibility for the officer’s suicide. She informs Kiara that she plans to reveal that officers have been sexually exploiting and trafficking young women. She asks Kiara whether she can reveal Kiara’s name, and Kiara orders her not to.
In the ensuing days, the suicide note is released and, though Kiara’s name is redacted, she grows paranoid, certain that someone is watching her. She insists on keeping the apartment as dark as possible.
