“What else?”

Elliot looked at Ronan. He could feel the shape of the truth. Dangerous. Tempting.

“I knew things.”

Ronan's expression tightened.

“What things?”

“About him.”

“How?”

“People talk to me.”

“Again. Specific.”

Elliot exhaled.

“Lucas had been sending videos around. Not just embarrassing stuff. Private stuff.”

“What kind?”

“Sexual.”

That was true. Unfortunately.

“Of who?”

“I don't know everyone.”

“But you knew enough to confront him.”

“Yes.”

“What did you say?”

Elliot hesitated. Ronan caught it.

“What?”

“I told him if he didn't delete everything, I'd make sure people knew what he was doing.”

Ronan stared.

“That sounds like a threat.”

“It was.”

“Jesus Christ.”

“He deserved it.”

“That isn't the point.”

“Yes, it is.”
