Derek grabs his keys from his pocket and hands them to Darien. “Take the SUV.”

(Derek)

I sigh. "We go pick up Billie and his jackass friend and get some information out of them. Or let Laz do what he does. She said there were four, so we're missing two."
November 5, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Derek and I both nod. "Yeah. I agree."
November 5, 2025 at 1:28 AM
I nod. "So it looks like Billie's alibi just stopped being an alibi."

I take a deep breath.

Derek says, "If we slow it down, can we see the drivers?"
November 4, 2025 at 10:04 PM
I growl.
November 4, 2025 at 9:56 PM
I take slow breaths as we watch.

Derek points to one of the screens when a car pulls into frame at about 10:15. "Her car."
November 4, 2025 at 9:40 PM
I point at one of the screens. "There's Derek leaving at 6...I wish we could see more than a sliver of the street though."

Derek gestures to another screen. "This camera has a pretty good view of the barn driveway though."
November 4, 2025 at 9:00 PM
I nod and continue taking slow breaths.

Derek leads us into the house and into a control room off the kitchen.

I snort. "I see Marty did most of the set up."

Derek smacks me lightly. "Are you implying I'm too stupid to figure this out?"

"Yes." I nod.

He snorts. "Well, you're right."
November 4, 2025 at 8:51 PM
Laz nods and heads out to the truck before leaving.

I focus on taking slow breaths. I quietly whisper, "Belle may have been right to basically handcuff me to herself."

(Laz)

I take the bag. "I'll get the cigarette butts and the jewellery tested for anything that isn't Tilly and I'll get the jewellery repaired and cleaned before it goes back to her.

(Derek)

I grab David's arm when I notice he looks ready to storm out. "Nope. Let's check the cameras."
November 4, 2025 at 8:22 PM
(Derek)

I nod. "Most people don't. Pretty much only Max and Jared since they helped me and Marty install them when the damn goats kept escaping. I mean, the cameras are visible, but most people don't notice them."
November 4, 2025 at 7:10 PM
(Derek)

I rub his back. "We will figure out who this is. The thing they may have failed to take into account are the cameras watching the fence line. We may catch someone."
November 4, 2025 at 6:57 PM
(Derek)

I take a very slow breath. "God, I wish I could, kid."
November 4, 2025 at 6:47 PM
(Derek)

I kneel away from the wet spot and reach under the shelf, pulling out a charm bracelet. I hold it up to Darien. "It's Tilly's."

As I'm getting up, I see another glint near the centre post in the room. I move some dirt and pick up a necklace. "That's hers too."
November 4, 2025 at 6:33 PM
(Derek)

I step further into the storage room and look around. I touch an uncoiled rope on a shelf. "That's supposed to be coiled and on that empty hook over there." I hum and then make a face when I see something glint under a shelf.+
November 4, 2025 at 6:33 PM
Derek steps into the doorway. "Just replaced over the summer...it's perfect..." He growls softly. "They brought her here...to her old home...somewhere she should be safe."
November 4, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Derek nods. "Yeah. Just packed earth. Less damage during floods."
November 4, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Laz nods. "So unlikely to belong to someone Derek actually had in the barn with his knowledge?"

Derek walks in as he speaks. "Even club members aren't allowed to smoke in the damn barn, Laz. Any cigarette butts that are here are from someone I didn't let in."

(Laz)

"Know anyone who does?" I ask as I pull a small ziploc bag out of my pocket and open it. "Put it in. We can take it to a lab. See if they can pull DNA from it."

(David)

"It's still not solid evidence, Laz."

Laz shakes his head. "No, but its a place to start."

(Laz)

As they walk in, I say, “well, there’s certainly the smell of animals and the dirt smells bad like she said.”
November 4, 2025 at 1:07 PM
I nod slowly as I look around
November 4, 2025 at 8:36 AM
I quietly say, “I don’t understand this. Tilly didn’t do anything to deserve this level of suffering. Why would anyone do this?”
