“No problem,” Colin says.
With a new sense of determination, I head out of the store and begin hurrying down the street, straight toward the nearest police station. I have to show them the footage; surely they’ll be able to do something, right?
As I’m walking, my phone rings, and I hesitate for a moment before answering when I see the caller ID.
It’s Leah.
“Hello?” I say, my voice a bit hesitant.
“Abby…” Leah’s voice is filled with concern. “How are you holding up?”
I take a deep breath, trying to sound as composed as possible. “I’m holding up just fine,” I reply, although the truth is far from that. “In fact, I’m going to the police right now.”
“The police?” Leah sounds even more concerned now. “Why?”
“I found something in my CCTV footage,” I say. “Something that will exonerate me. I’m sure of it.”
There’s a brief silence on the other end of the line, and I can almost hear the gears turning in Leah’s head. “What did you find?” she finally asks, her tone cautious.
I explain what I saw in the footage—the hooded figure walking up the alleyway on the night of the Alpha gathering. I’m convinced that this person must have broken in and contaminated the food, but the footage from my restaurant’s cameras has clearly been tampered with.
Leah doesn’t say anything, just listens, and I can almost imagine the expression on her face as she processes the information. She says nothing for a long time.
