He doesn’t respond, pushing the laptop toward me. Waiting while I insert the

flash drive into its slot.

The drive contains only one file: a video, twenty-eight minutes long.

My mouth has gone dry. When I try to lick my lips, my tongue rubs across

them like cardboard.

My index finger hovers over the cursor. I’m frightened, and I don’t want to

see whatever Cole is trying to show me. I know it won’t be good.

I click the video to make it play.

The image that flickers onto the screen is dimly lit and grainy. It appears to

be the interior of some kind of small house—wooden floors and walls, only

one room that includes the kitchenette, single bed, and the door to the

outside. It could be a cabin or a shack.

A man kneels directly in front of the door, shirtless, wearing only boxer

shorts, his legs bent beneath him and his large, misshapen feet splayed out

below. His graying hair is scruffy and his back hairy and sagging.

I recognize him immediately. I’ll never forget the shape of that blocky head,

with its roll of fat where the skull almost meets the shoulders.

The wave of revulsion that washes over me is physical, so strong I have to

clamp my hand over my mouth to prevent the carbonara from making another

appearance. I want to jump out of my chair, but my legs are rubber, bent

under the table.

His nose is pressed against the door. He appears to be kneeling on something

—possibly marbles. He squirms with discomfort but doesn’t dare take his

nose away from the door.
