Walter handed her a USB drive.

"This came from the old server."

"What is it?"

"Something recorded three weeks ago."

Nora opened the file.

It showed another child.

A boy named Jordan.

Caleb was in the footage again.

But this time, Caleb wasn't alone.

Two older students were standing nearby.

And Principal Crane was watching from the doorway.

Jordan was crying.

One of the older boys took his phone.

Caleb laughed.

Then Crane walked toward them.

Instead of stopping them, he said:

"Not here. Cameras."

Nora stared at the screen.

The bullying wasn't random.

It had become a system.

Older students intimidated younger ones.

Complaints disappeared.

Teachers were pressured.

And the school administration protected the children of influential families.

Nora looked at Walter.

"Why are you giving me this?"

He answered quietly.

"Because my grandson was Jordan."

Chapter 8 — The Hearing

Three weeks later, Westbridge Middle School was under investigation.

The school board held an emergency hearing.

Parents filled the room.

Teachers came forward.

Students testified through their families.

The security recordings were shown.

One by one.

No one could explain them away.
