Chapter 11 - What the phone captured after I left

Daniel forgot his phone was recording.

That became a serious problem.

Two minutes after I carried Rosie out, the recording captured my father shouting:

“He’ll bring police into this house.”

My mother:

“Lower your voice.”

Bethany:

“The child saw the envelopes.”

Daniel:

“She’s four.”

Bethany:

“She heard enough.”

Then my mother said:

“We are not discussing Northfield right now.”

Silence.

Daniel:

“Mom.”

My mother:

“I said stop.”

That single sentence proved she knew Northfield was sensitive.

Not necessarily criminal.

But sensitive.

Then my father:

“Destroy the phone if he comes back for it.”

Ironically, the phone belonged to Daniel.

No one destroyed it.

A guest picked it up later and handed it to police after learning evidence might be relevant.
