"Go play for a bit, kids, Mommy's got to take a call. Langston, Daddy will join you soon after he wraps up his work, be a good boy." Despite his impatience, Langston managed only a nod.

"Alright." Dorothy stepped out of the children's room, cell phone in hand, and answered the call.

"Hello? Byte 7." "Everett's got hold of the video from your flash drive. He hacked into my computer. If I'm not mistaken, he's destroyed the evidence." "What?!" Dorothy felt her mind go blank.

A buzzing noise filled her ears.

"You need to confront Everett. He's probably trying to protect his mom, ensuring your evidence is gone for good.” "Dorothy, hello? Dorothy! Are you listening?" "I... I'm here." She steadied herself against the wall to remain upright. "Are you sure he knew what was on the flash drive, and it wasn't just out of jealousy that he took it from you?" She didn't want to wrongfully accuse Everett.

So she needed to be certain.

"He knew. Dorothy, he knew everything." Those words echoed in Dorothy's head, playing over and over.
