When the three of them are finished, the image starts forming in my head.
I’m only missing one link.
Just a little something.
And I have to risk my future to see the end of it.
For Astrid, it’s fucking worth it.
“K-King?” Nicole stares up at me with wide eyes as I stand in front of their door.
I spent all night watching footage after footage of that party and keeping screenshots and short clips for evidence
There a few interesting things that came to light.
Nicole casts a cautious glance behind her then closes the door and steps outside. “You’re not supposed to be here, my stepfather will kill you.”
I glance behind her, even though the door is shut. “Is Astrid here?”
She twists her lips. “You should leave.”
“Not going to happen.” I push past her, stop and look down at her. “There’s something I’m curious about, Nicole.”
She licks her lips, flipping her blonde hair back. “What is it.”
“Did you fuck Daniel after you put something in his drink?”
Her face turns white. “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I pull out my phone and show her two clips that prove her implication. She put pills in glass shots and offered one to Daniel. He took the other and shoved it in Astrid’s hand.
Nicole starts shaking and swallowing hard.
“Now,” I continue, “There are no cameras inside the rooms, so tell me, were you fucking Daniel while Astrid had an accident?”
“K-King, I… I… didn’t mean for it go that far, I promise.”
I barge into her space. “I have enough evidence for Daniel to sue you for rape.”
“That… that’s not…”
“What was your plan exactly? Have him and Astrid fuck? Are you a voyeur or is this some other fucked up kink?”
“That drink was supposed to be mine, not Astrid’s! Daniel is supposed to be mine, not hers. But he had to snatch my damn drink and give it to his stupid Astrid. I studied with him all my life but she waltzes in here one day and he becomes best friends with her overnight. What does she have that I don’t?”
“So you decided to rape him?”
Her lips tremble. “I… I didn’t. You don’t know what happened, so shut up.”
“Then, mind telling me why you whored yourself to Chris after?”
“I only did that to make Daniel jealous.”
“Let me guess. It didn’t work. So you used Chris to find out if anyone knows what you did that night or if there’s any footage to implicate you.”
“No. I didn’t even know there were cameras. Do you think I’m stupid enough to have done it if I did?”
Huh. That changes things.
