My phone rang. It was Sarah’s sister, Emma, who I had always gotten along with.
“Mark, I’m so sorry, but please, can you take the video down? Sarah’s getting death threats. Someone posted her work address online. She had to quit her job.”
“Good,” I said.
“Mark, please. I know you’re hurt, but she’s—”
“She’s been f***ing my brother for six weeks in my bed, in my house, while I work to support both of them. She destroyed her own life.”
“Where is she supposed to go? She has no money, no job.”
“She can go live with Jake. They seem to enjoy each other’s company.”
The silence on the other end told me everything. Jake had disappeared, too. Probably couldn’t handle the shame of everyone knowing what he’d done to his own brother. Classic Jake, always running when things got complicated.
“He’s not answering anyone’s calls,” Emma said quietly.
