The video ended.
No one spoke for several seconds.
Priya finally broke the silence.
“This changes the timeline. Victor may have been stealing from the farm for more than a decade.”
Samuel leaned over the laptop.
“Can the old records still be used?”
“If they match modern evidence, yes.”
Her phone rang.
She answered, listened, and stood.
“When?”
Her expression sharpened.
“Lock every connected account. Notify airport security. I’m on my way.”
She ended the call.
“What happened?” Clara asked.
“Victor failed to appear for questioning.”
“Where is he?”
“We don’t know.”
My skin turned cold.
Priya gathered her equipment.
“His office is empty. His home was cleared out. A private plane filed a flight plan under his company name, then canceled it.”
Samuel stood.
“Do you think he left the country?”
“I think he wants us to believe that.”
“What about Marcus?”
Priya paused at the door.
