"No, Everett! That was my last shot. Do you wantto die?!" She clutched at Everett's shirt collar with a manic desperation, biting down hard and pounding at him with her fists.

Everett didn't flinch, not so much as a furrow in his brow, as he let her vent her fury.

Gradually, Dorothy's strength ebbed away.

"Everett, my mom didn't do anything wrong. Why was she the one to get killed. It should have been me. Why didn't your mom just finish the job and takeout too. Everett, since you could erase the video, can you just erasetoo? I'm so tired, I'm really just so tired." Tears brimmed and spilled over, streaking down her cheeks. Everett lifted a hand, gently wiping them away.

But the tears wouldn't stop, so he kept wiping them one by one, as if this simple act could make her stop crying. "Dorothy, have you ever actually trusted me? You had your mind made up, didn't you? Ready to stand againstthe moment you got the evidence, to raise your banner in defiance and castas your enemy." Everett couldn't understand.

Why could he never earn Dorothy's trust.

nn "Dorothy," Everett interrupted softly, "How many days left of your appointment with my dad?" "Three days." "Okay." He let out a sigh, stepping back to put sdistance between them, "After these last three days, I'll let you go." Everett had accepted it.

He couldn't hold on, or maybe he never really had a grip to begin with.

"But the video..." "Byte 7 only recovered a fragment, and I bet he made demands in exchange for the full thing, right? In three days, I'll give you the whole video." Everett's lashes lowered, concealing all his emotions, "Including Heather's confession." Dorothy stared at him in shock.

"You said you destroyed it?" "My mom is no fool. The video Byte 7 recovered has a self-destruct code and comes with a virus that infects the restorers computer. Heather and my mom set it up that way on purpose, so there's no way it would survive until you got it to court." By then, Dorothy would be a laughing stock.

Every shred of evidence would vanish in an instant, leaving her with nothing to present in court.

Everett had copied the video earlier and then deeply destroyed it, wiping out the tracing code as well, which meant the virus- infected computer belonging to Langston also went dark, and Byte 7's wasn't spared either. Dorothy never dreamed it would be like this.

But why didn't Everett just say so from the start? He was deliberately testing her.

He wanted to know how she would handle this situation, and he wanted to see where she would place him once the dust settled.

"You said Abigail and Langston wantedto play with them, right? I should go." Everett's voice was m hoarse as he spoke, then turned to leave.

Dorothy reached out instinctively to grab his robe, but the silky fabric slipped right through her fingers.

Everett's silhouette was still tall and imposing, yet tinged with a profound loneliness.

Dorothy's phone continued to ring. It must be Byte 7, because his om computer, just like Langston's, had crashed completely.

It was absurd, really. She had allowed herself to be swayed by the words of Byte 7, a person she hardly knew, to confront Everett. Everett had every right to be heartbroken.
