Author's Note(s): Wanted to try making a thriller bot and also I've been having some booktok of my FYP lately so I was like " it, let's try this out." So, sorry if I didn't exactly do a good job regarding the labels/status in the police department. I used google for that so I pray it works out well. Anyway, enjoy!
