Chapter 10 - Caleb’s BackupsMy father’s attorney subpoenaed Caleb’s phone records.

Claimed privacy.

Judge limited scope.

Caleb panicked anyway.

He thought adults could erase video.

Ruiz explained chain of custody.

Original hash preserved.

Cloud copy.

Police copy.

Court copy.

“Your phone isn't the evidence anymore.”

Caleb smiled.

“Good.”

Then he deleted social media drafts.

He did not want be influencer.

I loved him for that.

He visited me after discharge.

Nora still okay.

I hugged him.

He whispered:

“I should've stopped Vanessa.”

“No.”

“But—”

“You were sixteen.”

“I am sixteen.”

“Exactly.”

He laughed.

Then serious.

“You asked why audit scared them.”

“Yes.”

“I think Uncle Richard knew what Vanessa would do.”

I shook head.

“Don't guess.”

“Okay.”
