To figure out what Vanessa was really planning, I deliberately found a clip on a sketchy video site. The bathroom in the background looked similar to mine, and the woman had a figure somewhat like mine, though her face had been cut out of the frame.
I told Ryan to put it on the camera's memory card and give it to Vanessa.
That way, he could deliver what she wanted, get the money, and avoid raising Vanessa's suspicion.
After that, I took Daniel's ID to the bank and reported the card lost.
On the way back, I also bought a security camera and hid it in an inconspicuous spot at home.
Once everything was done, I waited for Ryan at the coffee shop near my apartment complex.
It was almost dinnertime when Ryan finally came out of Vanessa's place.
I was not worried that Ryan would betray me
