The Highway Held a Second Fire

The officer in charge was a woman named Nora Walsh. She stormed up and asked, “You just came from the hospital?” “Yes,” Grace said. “Send me the video,” Nora said, looking at Elias. “Right now.” He did not waste a second. He sent the stream link, the location, and the timestamp. Nora watched it once. Then she did something nobody expected. She keyed her radio and said, “Cancel the roadblock. Get state police to the southbound exit. This is not a traffic accident. This is coordinated transfer.” People in the traffic behind them began shouting. The phrase coordinated transfer was now out in the open, spoken by a line officer on scene. And that was the moment the story broke wide. Because Megan Holt’s livestream came back on.
