Fiona's phone buzzed with a call from the hospital. The patient, who should've been under observation, was gone. The security footage showed him leaving alone, and everyone knew he had nowhere to go. Even if he wanted to end it all, he'd make sure people knew about it. Otherwise, his family wouldn't let the hospital off the hook.

"Central Hospital, Give Us Our Son Back!"

"Central Hospital Lets a High School Girl Get Away with Murder!"

The news went viral in no time, thanks to the family's massive following. Fiona's personal info was quickly dug up and plastered all over the internet.
