Chuck released Valerie and came to me. She trembled violently on the couch. Chuck said, “Lend me your phone, Steph.”

remember the last time Chuck had called me by my nickname.

After watching the video, Valerie insisted that I’d used artificial intelligence to put it together. I shrugged and asked, “Will you only admit what you’ve done when I bring the pastor here to give his statement?”
I added, “He’s been feeling guilty over accepting your bribe, so he chose to tell the truth. He’s already been removed from his position.”
Valerie suddenly smiled eerily. “It’s all he deserves for being so easily swayed by money. It was almost as if he’d never seen it before! He could barely take his eyes off it when I took it from my pocket.”
