series of obstacles that would stand in their way she repeatedly argued with the officers questioning their reasons for conducting what she perceived as an intrusive investigation despite her resistance the officers decided not to pursue the questioning further and left her at the scene choosing instead to proceed to the apartment where Serenity was believed to reside as the officers approached the apartment they encountered a man outside the entrance they began an initial investigation by questioning him regarding Serenity's presence and activities seeking any information that
