Chapter 2: The Secret Hidden Inside the Prescription Bottle
While detectives continued searching the property, the laboratory rushed preliminary testing on the prescription bottle recovered from the dumpster.
The results arrived before sunset.
The medication contained powerful sedatives.
Not prescribed for Lily.
Not prescribed for any child.
The detective immediately requested Lily's blood samples from the hospital.
Hours later...
The laboratory called again.
Sedatives were present in Lily's bloodstream.
Emma stared at the report in disbelief.
"They drugged her..."
The detective nodded.
"She likely lost consciousness before she was buried beneath the garbage."
Marcus slammed his fist against the wall.
"They wanted nobody to hear her."
Meanwhile, detectives searched Brenda's bedroom.
Hidden inside a locked drawer they found another bottle from the same prescription.
The serial numbers matched.
Even worse...
They recovered a handwritten notebook.
Inside were pages filled with comparisons.
Birthday budgets.
School photos.
Medical expenses.
Each page compared Lily with another little girl—Vanessa's daughter.
One sentence froze everyone reading it.
"Everything would finally be peaceful if Lily simply disappeared."
The room fell silent.
