‘A video … of your dad? Of your dad doing what?’ The urgency in his voice stoked up my adrenaline again. From this point there’d be no stopping it.

‘It’s the crash,’ I said quickly. ‘OK? The actual crash. And you can’t see anything, like, anything bad, but I just need you to know that’s what it is before you watch it.’

‘Oh my God, Sydney. Oh my fucking God. How …?’

‘I’m sort of, I don’t know. Um. I think I need your help.’

‘OK. OK. Anything. Did you call the police?’

I ran a trembling hand through my hair. ‘We tried. They’re not really understanding the situation. Mom’s on her way to the station, and she said she’s gonna actually show them or talk to them or whatever but I honestly don’t think they’ll do shit. But, OK, wait. I’m gonna text you the link now, OK?’ I tapped off the chat for a moment and sent it.

‘OK, I just got it. But what do you want me to do?’

‘Do you remember that picture of me and June? And you looked at it, or whatever? All the information you got about it, somehow. Can you do that with videos?’

Leo exhaled. ‘I don’t know, babe. That’s tricky. Especially this – what’s the ToD? Man, what the fuck is this place? It seems, uh, bootleg. I don’t know if … I mean, yeah. I’ll try. I can try.’

We were quiet for a moment. I watched Leo click, watch, pause. He tried to hide the distress on his face, but I saw it. He glanced back up to me. ‘OK,’ he said, not really to me; I think he was calming himself down. ‘I’m gonna – man. Man. I’ll try – I’m gonna look. I mean, it’s surveillance footage, obviously. So firstly, this person needs to have access to surveillance footage – but it’s a video of the surveillance footage, that, you know, they filmed on a phone, or something. So they got access but they were too scared to download it, or weren’t able to download it. Which …’

Who the hell would have access to surveillance footage? ‘I … don’t know anyone that could …’ The pieces were there now but I couldn’t join them.

‘OK, no, babe, wait. I was looking into this yesterday, after Spring Fling – there were a couple of things that didn’t make sense and I think I need to tell you – like, I think I might know –’

An engine rumbling below. A car had pulled into the driveway.

Leo heard it too. ‘What’s happening?’
