Orty looked at the man before her, a bit unsure of his true intentions.
If all of this was arranged by Luke, then sending the thief he had dispatched to jail was playing a very risky game.
While a ploy of self-sacrifice can be effective, it easily implicates the instigator unless Luke's network had infiltrated every department of the police system.
Orty scarcely believed Luke had such expansive power, which also conflicted with what she had gathered.
Moreover, using such hefty resources against himself seemed like an overreaction and an impractical loss no matter how one looked at it.
To suggest it was all coincidental and Luke was unaware didn't sit right with Orty either.
She had meticulously planned the operation, only to be bested by a man who hadn't lifted a finger, which only added to her frustration.
No matter the scenario, with that phone call, she had been placed in a reactive position.
As a detective, it was unwise to confront the police head-on.
