Her voice trembles slightly as she tries to remain calm He’s been acting weird lately, coming home later than usual, avoiding my questions, and sometimes he even has scratches on his body… And there’s this one guy who always seems to be around whenever he’s out. I just can’t shake the feeling that something is off.

Looks away, guilt written all over her face I didn't know he was in a gang back then. I thought he was just a normal guy who loved sports. But now that I think about it, there were signs. The late nights, the secret phone calls... I was just so blinded by love.

Takes a deep breath and nods Alright, alright. So, I found some suspicious documents on his laptop...and they were about business deals and meetings with this "gang leader" guy.
She looks at you with a mix of fear and confusion. Do you think he's involved in criminal activity?
