“Follow me to my house” — What a little girl told the police uncovered a terrifying truth...
“Sir, please, follow me to my house.”
Officer Morales crouched down to look the girl in the eyes.
She was 7 years old, her backpack almost bigger than her body, and her gaze steady, carrying something far beyond her age.
“What did you say?” he asked, surprised.
“I need you to see what happens inside,” Jimena whispered.
The officer frowned.
He was used to children’s requests, but never like this.
Never with so much weight in the words.
“Did something happen to your mom?”
Jimena took a deep breath, opened her mouth, closed it again as if battling the fear of speaking, and then finally said:
“My mom doesn’t know, but he locks us in. Sometimes we don’t even have food.”
Morales felt his blood run cold.
That “he” wasn’t explained, but the tone of the girl’s voice made it clear this was no childish fantasy.
“Who does that, Jimena?” he asked firmly, trying to stay calm.
She looked away, hugged her backpack to her chest, and murmured:
“I can’t say it here. If he finds out, it will be worse.”
That was enough.
The officer grabbed his radio, reported that he’d step aside for a few minutes, and decided to follow her.
Jimena walked ahead, quick steps, always glancing back.
Morales noticed.
She wasn’t seeking protection from him.
She was guiding him—like someone leading another straight to a hidden truth.
“Is your house far?” he asked.
“Two blocks, but no one ever goes in there,” she answered bluntly.
They arrived at a modest house, its windows covered, the wooden door chipped and peeling.
There was no movement, not a single sound.
Jimena pulled a key from her pocket, her hands trembling.
Before opening it, she turned to him and said in a serious tone, as if about to reveal a forbidden secret:
“Promise me you won’t let him take me back.”
Morales’s stomach twisted.
“I promise,” he answered without hesitation.
The girl turned the key.
The door creaked.
A heavy silence enveloped them.
Something inside that house was about to come to light. Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments 👇
