Chapter 10 — Detective Osei

Detective Osei met me in a private therapy room.

He watched the recovered footage once, his jaw tightening, and then again with the audio isolated.

The camera had caught all of it — Lars in the doorway, Sigrid moving my phone beyond my reach, the two of them discussing the house minutes before it happened, and Sigrid calmly wiping the counter while I lay on the floor.

It did not need to show the worst of it to prove the case.

The plan, the denial of aid, the cold cleanup — that was enough.
