“Hey there, buddy,” Walter cooed as they entered the nursery. “It sounds like you and Mama have had a really tough day, huh? Let’s see if Daddy can help make things better.”
However, as Walter leaned over the crib to comfort Logan, his eyes widened in surprise. Nestled among the blankets was a small dictaphone, its red recording light blinking in the dim nursery light.
Walter furrowed his brow in confusion as he reached for the device. “What’s this doing here?” he muttered, his mind racing with questions. He pressed the playback button, and a voice reverberated through the room, revealing a secret that would alter everything.
Abby’s eyes widened in shock as she listened to the recording, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief. Walter’s heart sank as he realized the truth hidden within Logan’s cries—the source of their baby’s distress was far more sinister than they could have ever imagined.
Together, they listened to the recording, their minds reeling with the implications of what they had discovered. As the truth unfolded before them, Abby and Walter knew that their lives would never be the same again.
