Vrijeme je bilo burno, miris mora i promjena godišnjih doba osjetio se u zraku.

The weather was turbulent; the scent of the sea and the change of seasons could be felt in the air.

Dubrovačka policijska stanica bila je užurbana kao i uvijek.

The Dubrovnik police station was as busy as always.

Ljudi su dolazili i odlazili, a buka razgovora ispunjavala je prostoriju.

People came and went, and the noise of conversations filled the room.

Ivana je stajala ispred glavnog pulta, očajna.

Ivana stood in front of the main counter, desperate.

"Radio je samo mali zadatak", rekla je policajki koja je sjedila za stolom, "ali Luka nije došao kući.

"He was just running a small errand," she told the policewoman sitting at the desk, "but Luka hasn't come home."

"Policajka je podignula pogled, uočila žurbu u Ivaninim očima i odgovorila umorno, "Gospođice, možda je s prijateljima.

The policewoman looked up, noticed the urgency in Ivana's eyes, and responded tiredly, "Miss, maybe he's with friends.

Luka je poznat po učestaloj nevolji.

Luka is known for often getting into trouble."

"Ivana nije mogla povjerovati.

Ivana couldn't believe it.

Kako su mogli biti toliko nemarni?

How could they be so careless?

Luka je njezin mlađi brat.

Luka was her younger brother.

Bila je odgovorna za njega.

She was responsible for him.

On nije samo nestašno dijete, već brat kojeg je voljela i kojemu je trebala pomoć.

He wasn't just a mischievous kid but a brother she loved and who needed help.

Jesenji vjetar je puhao kroz otvorena vrata, ljuljajući šarene lišće unutra.

The autumn wind blew through the open door, swaying the colorful leaves inside.

Ivana je izvorno došla kući za blagdan svetog Mihovila, ali sada su misli o slavlju nestale.

Ivana had originally come home for the feast of St. Michael, but thoughts of celebration had now faded.

Bez obzira na skepticizam policije, Ivana je odlučila postupiti sama.

Regardless of the police's skepticism, Ivana decided to act on her own.

Nije mogla prihvatiti čekanje kao opciju.

She couldn't accept waiting as an option.

Počela je razmatrati mjesta na koja bi Luka mogao otići.

She began pondering the places where Luka might have gone.

Luka je često posjećivao stare ulice grada, tražeći avanturu i skrovite kutke u drevnim zidovima Dubrovnika.

Luka often visited the old streets of the city, seeking adventure and hidden corners within the ancient walls of Dubrovnik.

Svakim korakom istraživala je gradsku mrežu uskih uličica.

With each step, she explored the city's network of narrow alleyways.

Pitajući prijatelje i poznanike, dobivala je malo informacija.

Asking friends and acquaintances, she received little information.

Luka je viđen blizu stare tvrđave, mjesto koje je uvijek volio zbog pogleda na more.

Luka had been seen near the old fortress, a place he always loved for its view of the sea.

Osjećaj nemira ju je vodio kroz mračne hodnike tvrđave.

A sense of unrest guided her through the dark corridors of the fortress.

Tih glasovi su dopirali iz jednog kutka.

Soft voices reached her from one corner.

Uspjela je prepoznati glas i sakrila se.

She managed to recognize a voice and hid.

Luka je bio tamo, okružen lokalnim momcima, i činilo se da je upao u nesporazum.

Luka was there, surrounded by local boys, and it seemed he had gotten into a misunderstanding.

Ivana je skupila hrabrost i izašla iz zaklona.

Ivana gathered her courage and stepped out from her hiding spot.

"Pustite ga odmah," viknula je glasno.

"Let him go immediately," she shouted loudly.

Njezin glas je odzvanjao kamenim zidovima tvrđave.

Her voice echoed off the stone walls of the fortress.

Skupina je u početku bila iznenađena, ali nedovoljno ozbiljna da se povuce.

The group was initially surprised but not serious enough to back down.

Srećom, nije bila sama.

Fortunately, she was not alone.

Policajac kojeg je poznavao njezin otac, došao je za njom.

A policeman who knew her father had followed her.

Shvatio je ozbiljnost situacije kada je vidio Ivanu kako hrabro stoji protiv dečki.

He realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw Ivana standing bravely against the boys.

"Dosta je, dečki, sad pustite ga," rekao je odlučno.

"That's enough, guys, let him go now," he said decisively.

Luka je bio slobodan i vraćen natrag sestri.

Luka was freed and returned to his sister.

Policija je također zadržala grupu i riješila nesporazum s krađom.

The police also detained the group and resolved the misunderstanding about the theft.

Ivana je stisnula brata u zagrljaj, osjećala se zahvalno i olakšano.

Ivana hugged her brother, feeling grateful and relieved.

Tog dana, Ivana je naučila važnu lekciju o hrabrosti i upornosti.

That day, Ivana learned an important lesson about courage and persistence.

Nikad više neće sumnjati u svoju snagu ni u zajedništvo koje ih je spasilo.

She would never again doubt her strength or the unity that saved them.

Luka je bio siguran, a Ivana je stekla novo poštovanje prema vlastitim sposobnostima i ljudima koji će uvijek biti tamo kada se uistinu računa.

Luka was safe, and Ivana gained a newfound respect for her abilities and the people who would always be there when it truly mattered.
