Chapter 2: The Missing Footage
Bridget underwent emergency surgery that evening.
Doctors confirmed severe spinal trauma.
Whether she would walk again remained uncertain.
Meanwhile, Detective Ruiz obtained a warrant for the home's surveillance system.
Marcus had already done his job.
Every camera recording from 4:20 to 4:45 p.m. had been erased.
Tyler smirked when detectives informed him.
"Looks like bad luck."
Ruiz didn't agree.
"Funny thing about digital evidence," he replied.
"People delete files."
"They rarely delete the truth."
The surveillance company recovered fragments from the cloud backup.
Most cameras remained corrupted.
Except one.
The reflection camera above the patio.
It hadn't filmed the deck directly.
Instead, it captured the sliding glass doors.
Inside the reflection...
everyone could be seen.
Including Tyler.
Both hands extended.
One violent shove.
Bridget disappearing backward.
No accident.
No slip.
Just murder caught in a reflection.
