Chapter 5 - THE VIDEO

Susan had a doorbell camera.
It captured Linda bringing Daisy next door.
Red bow visible.
Timestamp:
5:42 p.m.
Then Linda returned alone.
Holding the bow.
At 5:48, Ryan texted her.
RYAN:
You sure this isn’t too much?
LINDA:
She needs a reality check.
RYAN:
She’ll lose it.
LINDA:
Exactly.
Claire read the message twice.
Exactly.
That word changed everything.
Then another text:
LINDA:
If she storms out, let her.
RYAN:
Why?
LINDA:
Because people need to see what happens when she’s challenged.
Claire’s stomach dropped.
