Chapter 6 - Victor Hears the Recording

Victor listened to Sophia's video under supervision.

His face did not move until she said:

“My father does not know everything.”

Then he closed eyes.

Daniel knew more than Victor.

For three years Victor had told anyone who listened:

“My daughter would have come to me if she feared something.”

She had tried.

He had told her stop digging.

Victor whispered:

“I sent her away.”

Agent Chen replied:

“You had an argument.”

“No.”

Victor looked up.

“I made my house unsafe for truth.”

That was closer.

Then Sophia's video:

“Marcus is not involved.”

Victor’s shoulders dropped.

Three years of hatred had nowhere to go.

He asked to speak Marcus.

Denied under no-contact order.

He wrote a letter through attorneys.

Marcus did not read immediately.

He placed unopened on table.

He wasn't ready to manage Victor’s remorse.

That was Victor's problem.
