I Gave Them Freedom
After we gave our statements and left, Jamie, Charlie, and I all sat in the same car.
Jamie smoked heavily.
Before long, he began to laugh at himself. "Charlie, that man beside Megan is her father. He's also the driver who crashed into us back then and vanished. She was willing to let her own father run her over and sacrifice a leg just so she could climb into high society… How ruthless."
I listened quietly and learned the whole story from those few words.
Megan's father was a gambler, but he did love his only daughter very much. Their relationship was quite tight. They simply had no money and owed debts.
