"Johnny!" Cameron screamed in his mind, before he closed his eyes, and the darkness pulled him close.
…
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, as he attached the file to the email, and then typed, Ta-dah, into the subject line, before hitting send, now the truth was out there, and she couldn't do anything about it.
Jonathan straightened up, and removed the flash drive from the side of the computer, he pocketed the drive, and walked out of the small computer cafe.
…
Jordan opened the cryptic email, titled, Ta-dah, on his computer, and all of a sudden he was looking at the missing traffic cam footage from the night Jonathan supposedly murdered the MW, this...this was it, the footage that would clear Johnny.
"Guys...guys, you gotta see this!" Jordan yelled, garnering the attention of both Dina and Gunter, who both came and gathered around his computer.
They all watched the black and white footage in silence, eyes locked on the screen.
"Wha...how...Jordan, that's the missing footage from that night," Dina said, looking at the computer screen in disbelief, "Where...where did it come from?"
"I don't know, somebody just emailed it to me," Jordan answered.
Dina looked at the screen again, and a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, as she silently read the subject line of the email, Ta-dah!
"Was it Cam?" Jordan asked, looking up at both of them.
Dina's eyes went back to the screen, scanning for some clue, if it was Cameron who had somehow sent the email to Jordan, where was he now, and why hadn't he told them what he was doing, he hadn't said anything when he had left the other night, and she knew that if Cameron had crossed MW, he was in real danger.
They had all been so distracted by the traffic cam footage, that they had completely overlooked the few sentences that were typed below, she read them silently to herself, and she frowned in confusion, before looking up at Jordan and Gunter in horror.
"Cameron didn't send that email to Jordan," Dina explained, her eyes flickering back to the screen, and landing on the note.
Gunter and Jordan followed her gaze, and read the note…
Here is the missing traffic cam footage from that night, I stole it from MW. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you my plan, and I'm sorry that I left that way, but I had to get MW to think that I trusted her, it was the only way I could get the flash drive. I trust you to get this footage to the FBI, and if Kay hasn't already, please find a way to get Cam out of prision.
"They switched places, do you think that's the plan Johnny was talking about?" Jordan asked.
"I don't know, but we've got to call Kay," Dina said, already grabbing her phone from her purse.
…
~I'm going home, back to the place where I belong, and where your love has always been enough for me, I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong, I don't regret this life I chose for me, but these places and these faces are getting old, I said these places and these faces are getting old, so I'm going home~
Jonathan smiled to himself, as the song played on the radio, he was going home.
He was driving back to the city, back to his friends, back to his family, that is if they all would forgive him.
"They won't forgive you, you know… a voice inside his head suddenly told him, and for a moment, he thought about turning around...driving as fast and as far away as he could get…
And then suddenly, his memory cast him back to that night…
No, what I said was, I don't want to escape with you...
The words...his words...punching Cameron...seeing his brother fall to the floor, lying there unconscious...hurrying to switch their clothes, praying that Cameron wouldn't wake up...he also remembered feeling...anger...anger towards Cam...and, looking back at his brother, wearing that prison uniform, and knowing that a little bit of what had been taken away from him, would be taken away from Cam, he smiled...
…
Jonathan violently shook his head, and the memory dissolved…he didn't want to think about that night, he just...he needed to get back, to explain everything, he needed to see Cam.
