Chapter 15 - Lily Remembers the Picture Man
Lily knew Adrian.
Not by name.
“The picture man.”
During her forensic interview, she said:
“He comes when Daddy tummy hurts.”
The interviewer did not react.
“When have you seen him?”
“He takes pictures.”
“What kind?”
“The wall ones.”
Another question:
“Have you ever seen him take something away?”
Lily thought.
“Big black box.”
Transport case.
Not evidence of crime by itself.
Then she said:
“Mommy said don’t bother him because Daddy sleeping.”
