Chapter 26 - The phone recording

I kept a copy.

Not to replay constantly.

For legal records.

One night, years later, I listened again.

After the glass shattered and I left, the phone captured everyone talking.

Fear.

Blame.

Excuses.

Then something quiet.

A guest named Janet said:

“That little girl was hiding in a bathroom.”

Nobody answered.

Janet continued:

“And all of you are arguing about the family reputation.”

Silence.

Then:

May you like

“What is wrong with you people?”

That stranger had summarized the entire night.
