That answer surprised me, and I asked, “Used it for what exactly?”
She avoided my eyes and said, “I do not know.”
I then asked, “Do you know someone called Rook?”
Her reaction was immediate, and she froze for a moment before quickly denying it.
“I have never heard that name,” she said.
I also described the man I saw leaving the house, and she looked scared for a second before trying to hide it.
“You are imagining things,” she said.
Then her phone rang, and she looked at the screen with visible anxiety.
“I have to go,” she said quickly and left without answering more questions.
When I got home, I received a security alert from my company saying there was an attempted login from my parents’ address.
I immediately called Orion Arc security.
The analyst told me, “Your company laptop was delivered this morning.”
I asked, “Delivered where?”
She said, “To your parents’ address on file.”
I felt sick because I had never authorized that address.
Someone had changed it without my knowledge.
I called Detective Ramírez again, but he did not answer.
I went straight to my parents’ house.
Inside, I found my father in my old bedroom holding my company laptop, which had already been opened.
