Making a police call
“I told you to stay away from him.”
As it turns out, I didn’t need to tell the police about Derek’s assault that I witnessed. A few days later, his body was discovered in his garage; he had fallen asleep in his car, which was filled with poisonous gases. Just another suicide to document in graphic detail. I wondered, in a roundabout way, what he had seen and what had pushed him over the edge.
