  53. ABOUT THE AUTHOR
  54. Also by J. P. Pomare

The phone and the keys fall and are swallowed by the lake where it froths and boils at the boat’s edge. They’re gone in the growing tail of foam in our wake. Just the slightest lift at the corner of his mouth as if to say, it’s done, the past is behind us. Cain was using the photos and the phone to force me to forget about the second man, to stick with the narrative, to do the interview and clear our names, but now they’re gone. Twisting and turning through the murky depths.

I breathe in, breathe out, give just the smallest nod once more. Our indiscretions confined to a point in time, a place that soon we will never see again. Our secrets plummeting to the deepest part of this lake that has given me so much, but taken even more.

Peephole

Live Cam Premium

Stream: 021A

Viewers: 006

This stream is a favourite with the viewers. It’s one of the longest running streams on the platform and, unlike many of the others, it’s rarely new people staying in the home. It’s almost always the same couple, the muscle-bound man and the tattooed woman with the short black hair. They’re there so much of the time, with that little brown dog. After so many months, viewers feel like they know them, viewers can inhabit them. They can see the woman’s stomach growing with her pregnancy. Today someone else is in the house. He’s in a black balaclava and comes through the front door. He punches in the code to the alarm and carries a stepladder and a small toolkit with him. He goes directly to the corner of the living room and climbs up the stepladder to the camera. It’s quick, methodical work. Viewers drop away as one by one he removes all of the streams. In the living room, the bedrooms, the bathrooms. They all drop out and it’s almost like the cameras were never there. It’s like he was never there.

SECOND ARREST MADE IN WESTAY HIDDEN CAMERAS CASE

Police have arrested a man and raided his Grey Lynn home, seizing computers, hard drives and other hardware in dramatic scenes. The arrest is believed to be in relation to the Tarawera home invasion and an online network of voyeurs who produce and share covert footage within holiday rentals from websites such as WeStay.

The suspect has been granted interim name suppression, but it is understood that he has a ‘significant profile’ and is refusing to cooperate with investigators.

It is alleged the individual has engaged the illegal service Peephole, which investigators learned about earlier this year.

The raid came after NZSAS personnel received a tip-off.
