Her dad’s eyes snapped open. “No. Something is wrong. Brakes do not completely fail on a vehicle. There are other safety measures for such situations and none of them worked. This was deliberate.” His eyes drilled on Caleb. “You’ve never talked about your father’s car accident. I know that was long ago, but was there anything suspicious or strange about it?”
Caleb drew his brows down and stared at the floor for a moment. He shook his head. “Not that I know of. The only strange thing was the question he asked just before we hung up.”
“What was that?” Ellie’s dad was all ears.
Caleb smirked. “
