    The trial went on for nearly a year.The police had found a complete chain of evidence against Tyler. The two other women who had previously reported him to the authorities identified him immediately through the items left in his van and their records from the repair platform.Ultimately, Tyler was convicted of multiple crimes and sentenced to life imprisonment.The disappearance case from three years earlier was also reopened due to the new evidence found in his vehicle. All of the spoils he'd taken from his crime scenes, including the earring and the dashcam footage, had become evidence pointing at him.When his sentence was read out, Tyler glared hatefully at me across the dock."He's nothing but a moron! A dumb fuck! How dare he ruin my life just like that?"The bailiff immediately pressed the agitated Tyler back into his seat.What really got him convicted wasn't my testimony, but rather, every trace he'd left on the repair platform and the recording that Ingrid had preserv

    After Tyler was taken into police custody, he refused to say a word at first.He believed that I couldn't testify against him properly and that Ingrid wouldn't be able to describe him because she would only have a hazy, vague figure to work with."The things in the van don't belong to me. Anyone could have put them inside to frame me. I'm just an honest repairman. She was the one who attacked me with the pepper spray first. I panicked and took her away with me."He even chuckled when he said this."As for the accident from six years ago… The case has already been closed long ago."He kept rubbing his handcuffed wrists as he spoke, his eyes darting from one side to another. The officers interrogating him didn't expose him on the spot. Instead, they just told him to tell his account of the story from that day.The first time, Tyler said that he only went into the apartment building in the afternoon. The second time, he said that he'd been having lunch nearby at that time.It hadn'

    Tyler saw Ingrid staring at the bloody earring and immediately kicked it under the car. His grip tightened around her."Don't look!"Ingrid didn't resist. She just hung her head and pretended to have completely given up. She knew that there was no point going against him right now while he had the upper hand.Then, Tyler grabbed hold of her and forced her into the van. She pretended to lose her footing and fell halfway inside, making Tyler crouch over to stuff her in properly with an impatient look on his face.Suddenly, Ingrid grabbed the tire wrench from the side of the seat and slammed it hard against his wrist. The knife in Tyler's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and Ingrid turned to run, quickly bumping into a couple of the other cars nearby so that their alarms would go off.At once, the entire parking garage was filled with the loud blaring of a dozen car alarms.Tyler caught up to Ingrid and grabbed her by the collar. There was a loud tearing sound, and she quickl

    Another crash came from outside the front security door, and Tyler panicked.He ignored me lying on the ground and dragged Ingrid into the access door behind the wardrobe. But Ingrid desperately clung to the sides of the door. She refused to let go, not at all caring that splinters were cutting into her hands."No! Nick is still inside!"Tyler kicked her in the back of her knees and finally dragged her into the dark utility access chamber.I tried to go after them, but I couldn't even get up, and the broken wheelchair was also overturned on its side. My legs were completely numb, and I couldn't lift my head or feel my right shoulder at all. I could only claw at the floor and drag myself forward, inch by inch, with all my might.Before I'd even made it halfway into the door, the board behind the wardrobe was closed up once more, and Ingrid's voice vanished into the darkness.I pressed my forehead against the cold floor, hating my paralyzed body to the extreme for the first time ev

    Ingrid's breath hitched for a split second when she saw the car emblem on the floor.I didn't have time to warn her when Tyler approached with a wrench in his hand."Throw the phone over here," he said.Ingrid wasn't about to comply. She quickly switched it to speakerphone instead. The telephone operator's voice came through the phone speaker at once."Ma'am, please keep your distance from the other party. The police are already on their way to you."Tyler's face darkened at once as he lunged for the phone. "You're asking for trouble!"Ingrid hit him with the pepper spray immediately, and the pungent, blinding liquid sprayed all over his face.Tyler covered his face and roared angrily, slamming the wrench against the wall.Ingrid didn't stay put. She pushed me toward the kitchen, simultaneously grabbing the fire extinguisher from the wall. She'd bought it last year because she was worried that my mobility issues would prevent her from getting me out of the apartment in time if

    Ingrid immediately pressed the record button on the front door cam, making doubly sure that everything would be saved and recorded. However, the screen flickered twice and turned black.There was the sound of something breaking outside the door.Tyler had smashed the camera.Ingrid's face turned pale. She picked up the oxygen tank and tried to wheel me into the bedroom for safety. However, I kept my hand firmly on the wheelchair brakes.We couldn't go into the bedroom.In my past life, the first thing Tyler did after breaking into our house was unplug the CCTV camera in the living room before forcing Ingrid into the bedroom, where we didn't have a camera installed.I had to stay in the living room. We had to stay here, no matter what! Even if the court couldn't get a testimony out of me, the CCTV footage would be more than enough evidence to convict Tyler!Ingrid realized that the wheelchair wouldn't budge and hurriedly batted at my hand."Nick! Behave! We'll wait inside the be
