No: Siv visste at hun måtte gjøre noe.

En: "I want to talk about my brother's case," Siv said firmly to the constable behind the counter.

No: En kvinnen så opp, litt irritert, men nikket.
En: The woman looked up, slightly irritated, but nodded.

No: På kontoret til etterforskeren møtte hun skeptiske blikk.
En: In the investigator's office, she met skeptical looks.

En: She couldn't help but think about the guilt that had plagued her since the year before.

No: I løpet av møtet presset hun frem all informasjonen hun hadde samlet.
En: During the meeting, she pressed forward all the information she had gathered.

No: Men det var en brikke som manglet.
En: But there was a missing piece.

No: Kari, en venn av familien, kunne vite mer.

No: Mot sin egen frykt bestemte Siv seg for å snakke med Kari.
En: Against her own fear, Siv decided to talk to Kari.

No: Det var ikke uten risiko.
En: It wasn't without risk.
