I did not want to wait anymore, so I went to the gym she often visited.
When I arrived, I asked the receptionist where she was. Dani was sitting inside near the back, looking at her phone.
She saw me and immediately looked uncomfortable. “Why are you here?” she asked.
“We need to talk,” I said.
She walked outside with me, clearly annoyed and embarrassed.
“What is wrong with you?” she asked.
“My identity is being used in fraud cases,” I said. “The police found your phone number connected to the activity.”
Her expression changed for a brief second before she denied it. “That is ridiculous,” she said. “I did not do anything.”
“Then why is your number involved?” I asked.
She hesitated and said, “Maybe Mom used it for something. She borrows my information all the time.”
That answer surprised me, and I asked, “Used it for what exactly?”
She avoided my eyes and said, “I do not know.”
I then asked, “Do you know someone called Rook?”
Her reaction was immediate, and she froze for a moment before quickly denying it.
“I have never heard that name,” she said.
I also described the man I saw leaving the house, and she looked scared for a second before trying to hide it.
“You are imagining things,” she said.
Then her phone rang, and she looked at the screen with visible anxiety.
“I have to go,” she said quickly and left without answering more questions.
When I got home, I received a security alert from my company saying there was an attempted login from my parents’ address.
I immediately called Orion Arc security.
The analyst told me, “Your company laptop was delivered this morning.”
I asked, “Delivered where?”
She said, “To your parents’ address on file.”
I felt sick because I had never authorized that address.
Someone had changed it without my knowledge.
I called Detective Ramírez again, but he did not answer.
I went straight to my parents’ house.
Inside, I found my father in my old bedroom holding my company laptop, which had already been opened.
I asked, “Why do you have that?”
He looked uncomfortable and said, “Your mother told me to set it up.”
I told him, “This is company property and it is a serious violation.”
He replied, “She said it was necessary for some emails.”
My mother then appeared and acted calm as she said, “We are trying to help you.”
I told her, “You rerouted my work device without permission.”
She answered, “We are protecting your interests.”
