And I realized I no longer knew where his lies ended.

That afternoon, Detective Collins arrived at our house.
Dr. Harris had reported the newly discovered medical records and concerns involving the old research program.
Investigators were reviewing whether the original treatment involved unlawful experimentation and falsified consent.
My father had agreed to provide a formal statement.
Nigel had handed over his correspondence with Dr. Ellis.
For the first time, I felt as though the truth might finally be uncovered.
Then Detective Collins received a phone call.
He listened for several seconds.
His expression changed.
"Are you certain?"
He glanced at me.
"Send it immediately."
When he hung up, he looked troubled.
"Sarah, we found the original security footage from the hospital."
My heart jumped.
"From twenty years ago?"
He nodded.
"The recording was stored with unrelated archived material."
I stared at him.
"What does it show?"
He hesitated.
"The treatment room."
