CQ-I-0314-LS  //  THE OTHER BOOK  //  P. 41  //  COPIED OUT

What a sensible man would have done in March 2018, and I didn't.
Copied from the page as it stands. Read aloud in transmission 08.
If you think of one I've missed, tell me. It goes on.

 1. Never went to the people whose job it is to investigate that kind
    of night. Not once. Not a phone call.

 2. Never asked to be heard when they looked into it.

 3. Never went to the insurers on the other side. They had money and a
    reason to prove the station got it wrong. They'd have paid an
    expert for me.

 4. Never paid for an expert of my own.

 5. Never made a proper copy. The kind that proves nobody has touched
    the drive.

 6. Never took the fingerprint. That night, on that machine.
    Thirty seconds of typing.

 7. Never went to a newspaper. A proper one, with lawyers.

 8. Never chased the solicitor's letter.

 9. Never stayed.

10. Never asked the people who made the system for their own record
    of remote access. Ninety days, same as everything else. Probably
    gone by June. Added 2026, from a man who used to repair the
    equipment.

Every one of these was there for me. None of them were hard.
