Disgraced former police officer Alex Miller, convicted of corruption and abuse of power, stood stone-faced as the judge delivered his sentence. With no family to support him, he made one final request before being taken away—to say goodbye to his loyal K9 partner, Rex.

The courtroom, heavy with tension, fell into silence as Rex, a seasoned German Shepherd with knowing eyes, was brought in. Upon seeing him, Alex dropped to his knees, tears falling freely.

“I’m sorry, Rex… I let you down,” he whispered, clutching the dog who had stood by him through countless shifts, raids, and late-night patrols.

But what was expected to be a quiet, heartbreaking goodbye took an unexpected—and chilling—turn.

Rex abruptly pulled away from Alex’s arms, turned toward the back of the courtroom, and growled. Then, slowly and deliberately, he walked over to Officer Oliver—Alex’s former partner and key witness in the trial. With hackles raised and eyes locked, Rex let out a deep, warning growl.

Everyone froze.

Was it loyalty… or instinct? What did Rex sense? What did he know?

The courtroom, once clear in its judgment, was suddenly clouded with questions.
