Chapter 2: He Was Waiting for This
PART 2 ⬇️
The officer zoomed in.
The room went completely still.
Then Emily made a sound I'd never heard from her before.
Not a cry.
Something worse.
"Jake," she whispered.
"That's your brother."
Jake didn't move.
"Jake.
That's Michael."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You're lying." Her voice cracked.
"Why would Michael do this?
What did you do?"
Jake stepped back.
"Emily, calm down.
Not here."
"Fifty people are standing in our backyard and my name is on a hospital bracelet dated for TOMORROW.
Don't tell me to calm down!"
One of the officers stepped forward.
"Sir, do you know the individual in the footage?"
Jake said nothing.
That's when my phone buzzed.
Unknown number.
One message.
*"Ask Jake what happened in March.
Ask him what he signed."*
I looked up.
Jake was already watching me.
He'd seen the notification light up my screen.
And for just a second — before he looked away — I saw something in his eyes that made my stomach drop.
He wasn't surprised.
He was waiting for this.

What Jake is hiding is darker than anyone at that party could have imagined.
