Ray was still squinting from behind the tree, camera tripod still pointed straight at his own face. The girl stood right in the middle of the crowd, just behind two TV reporters. Eyes wide open, not blinking once. Lips moving real slow, over and over.
"I… know…"
Ray's throat went bone dry in a second.
'I know…? I know what? Shit, what if she… knows I'm the one who caused all this?!'
His heart was slamming against his ribs. Cold sweat already sliding down his back. But before he could freak out even more, a bunch of people suddenly shoved their way out of the crowd and headed straight for him.
Big cameras on their shoulders, lights blazing, long mics swinging around. Fresh TV reporters who just showed up.
"There he is! The live streamer guy!"
"Yo, drop a statement! You saw everything from the start, right?!"
Ray swallowed hard. Eyes bugging out.
'Fuck… I'm definitely ending up on TV. Live. National broadcast.'
