“You ripped your own buttons off, Sophia. You screamed for help before I even entered the room,” Ethan said in a hollow voice.
“I was scared! He cornered me!” she lied desperately, her voice pitching into a panicked, frantic whine.

“You don’t have to guess what happened, son. The hard drive records everything in high-definition audio and video,” Richard stated quietly.
