I found a quiet spot and pulled up the surveillance feed from the Delgado house.
Same as always, Silas and Zoe were parked in front of the TV.
They saw the crash footage on the news and recognized the car instantly, the same way I had.
Silas was so worked up he was shoveling emergency heart medication into his mouth.
Zoe grabbed her phone and made a call.
"I already called the school. The teacher said Lily didn't show up today."
"The news said two people were injured, and the driver was shielding the passenger with their own body. That's definitely Gay."
The two of them "confirmed" I was the one in the wreck, and they were practically dancing with joy.
"Heaven has eyes! We were just trying to figure out how to dump Gay and that kid, and God went ahead and took them off our hands."
"Our son is the only male heir in nine generations, and now he's making real money. Gay and that worthless girl should've been gone a long time ago."
"Widowed beats divorced any day. Now that girlfriend of James's, the pregnant one, can finally marry into the family."
I nodded slowly, a thought clicking into place.
So that was it.
