Chapter 10 - POLICE INTERVENTION AND THE PHONE SEIZURE
The police officers didn't hesitate. Nora’s phone was formally seized as evidence of a felony crime. The officers also bagged the shattered insulin vials, the empty pen casings from the garbage disposal, and my backup supplies as physical proof of tampering.

As she was led out of the kitchen past our weeping mother, she threw one final, venomous glare in my direction, proving she felt no remorse—only anger that she had been caught.
