Setting: Paris, France. 1989.
This is a very specific situation so it'll need some explaining.
A journalist is murdered and the case is ruled out as a mugging. Her daughter finds some of her final work and goes to ask her mother's former editor what he knows about it. He insists he knows nothing about it. The daughter believes he may be hiding something.
The editor actually has a floppy disk drive containing the last surving copy of an article that is tied to the mother's murder; it's locked in his work desk drawer.
I need to get that disk. My initial plan was to have another character break into his desk and take it. However this will later be brought to the police so I would like to know if any complications would arise because of the way it was obtained?
Also, one more detail is that the daughter is 17, would there be any problem with her bringing the evidence she's found to the police herself?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
