He clicked on the most recent video file, his breath hitching as the footage began to play on the screen.
The video quality was stunningly clear, capturing every corner of the kitchen and the patio door.

He saw the physical struggle, the way Marcus violently seized my wrist, and the aggressive lunge from Vanessa.
