Chapter 5 - The hidden camera

The camera looked like a small white charging cube.

It sat on a bookshelf in the family room.

Lydia knew about it.

At least originally.

I had told her:

“It lets me check on Louisa if she naps here.”

She said:

“Fine.”

Then months passed.

Everyone forgot.

I mostly forgot too.

The app usually stayed closed.

That morning it sent an alert because someone had moved close enough to trigger motion detection.

I was getting dressed.

I ignored it.

Then another alert.

Then another.

At 7:12, I heard a voicemail from Louisa’s tablet account.

Nothing but crying.

That was when I drove over.

May you like

I did not watch the camera footage until after I got Louisa into my car.

I wish I had watched sooner.
