Chapter 8

Autor: Goodtale
After the police statement was released, public opinion flipped overnight.

Someone gathered my entire evidence trail and posted a long thread, saying, "This guy wrapped himself in body armor and still nearly got shot through it. I feel bad for him."

The post was shared more than 40 thousand times.

Natalie's mother's long essay suddenly disappeared. Parents who had scolded me blocked me.

That night, Mom knocked on my bedroom door. She came in carrying a plate of cut fruit and sat beside my be

  • She Planned a Prank Heist, I Called 911   Chapter 9

    In September, I started college as planned.On the first day of military training, the sun was brutal. The instructor barked for us to stand at attention, and sweat trickled down past my ears and into my collar.I didn't move.Compared to the feeling of my lungs filling with water in my past life, a little heat was nothing.During our first public safety lecture, the professor discussed a case study. In the lecture slides, the bank's name had been blurred out, but I recognized the entrance immediately."22 college admissions were revoked. Three armed robbers were arrested. The outcome changed because one person made a phone call three days in advance."The classroom began buzzing."What kind of person would call the police first before trying harder to talk their friends out of it?""It sounds like he was just waiting for the whole thing to blow up.""That's terrifying. This person is inhuman."The professor let them finish before moving on to the next slide. Displayed across

Parents who had scolded me blocked me.That night, Mom knocked on my bedroom door. She came in carrying a plate of cut fruit and sat beside my bed. For a long time, she didn't say anything.Then, she finally spoke. "The day you made the police report, I said a lot of things I shouldn't have." She turned her phone around, showing the post with 40 thousand shares. "I didn't realize you had thought this far ahead."I opened my mouth to answer, then swallowed back my words.In my previous life, after they pulled my body from the river, Mom sat in front of my funeral portrait all night. She aged years over the next few days.In this lif

  • She Planned a Prank Heist, I Called 911   Chapter 7

    I sent the recordings of my calls with Mr. Zeller to the dean."More than twenty incoming college students are planning to rob a bank and livestream it?""They said they're just filming a prank video. The water guns contain water. The masks and robbery language are just for dramatic effect. The things said in the group chat were just jokes.""They're young. They just finished high school. It's normal to exaggerate a little."Then, I sent screenshots showing the exact moment I sent the PDF file and suspicious accounts to Mr. Zeller, and the exact timestamps showing he'd read them.Silence stretched on for a long moment before the dean finally spoke again. "The school will conduct a new review."I said, "If the school continues to imply that I'm responsible for this, I'll release all my evidence publicly."Two hours later, the school issued an official statement."Student Ethan Brooks reported the situation to his homeroom teacher in advance and also notified law enforcement. The

    The first thing I opened was the class group chat log. It showed that Natalie had uploaded the PDF file, Dylan's argument that "it wasn't a real robbery anyway", and that Ryan had insisted I stand in the front.I showed screenshots of messages from classmates demanding that I join after I had refused.Ryan's private messages were there too. From "We've been friends since we were kids" to "Don't make the whole class turn against you". And finally, the note he'd shoved through my door that read, "Friday, 2:00 pm, Middleton Street Branch. If you don't come, the whole class will gather at your house."Then, there was the recording of my call with Mr. Zeller. At the beginning, he was shocked. But later, he accused me of overreacting, snitching, and disrupting unity.Next was the recording of Natalie's mother, in which she had said, "So what if she wrote it? It's not a real robbery! You're the real culprit by reporting the matter."The clearest piece of evidence was the video recorded o

    A few students collapsed to the ground instantly. One wet his pants. Another burst into tears. Some were crying and calling for their mothers at the same time.Natalie's phone lay face-down on the ground, but the livestream was still running.The commenters had completely lost their minds."Wait. It isn't staged?""Holy crap! I can't believe this is happening!""Is she even allowed to still livestream this?"Ryan lay flat on the floor with his cheek pressed against the tile, shouting, "It's fake! They're water guns! We're just students—"Nobody paid him any attention.One by one, all 22 black-painted water guns were kicked into a corner. Then, 22 pairs of hands were cuffed behind their backs.My phone was still recording. I stood outside the police perimeter, capturing everything.Then, it happened. A muffled thud came from behind the teller counters, not the kind of sound a plastic water gun could make.Bang!Then, a second one.A SWAT team burst through the bank's side e

    That night, I backed up everything on my phone—the group chat logs, the PDF file, the screenshots, the voice recordings, my statement, and the police report receipt.At 1:00 am, I checked Natalie's social media account followers. The accounts that had been asking about the side entrance and the vault all had usernames made up of random characters, and none of them were more than a week old.One account used a profile picture of a pair of sneakers. They were a limited edition pair of shoes that resold for up to 40 thousand dollars.I zoomed in on the image, took a screenshot, and sent it to Officer Foster.Four minutes later, he replied, "We're looking into it. Stay alert."At 2:00 am, the class group chat was still finalizing details."Formation follows the name list. If Ethan doesn't come, Ryan takes his spot.""Natalie stands in the middle for close-up shots.""Tina, is your phone fully charged for the livestream?""Does anyone have Ethan's home address? I want to send him a
