“You Fool, This Is…” — The Reply That Made Us Freeze
My wife was the one who noticed it first.
A tiny blinking light on the smoke detector.
At first, I brushed it off.
“Probably just the battery,” I said.
But she kept staring at it.
“It’s not blinking like a battery,” she whispered. “It’s… different.”
Something about the way she said it made me grab a chair.
I climbed up, unscrewed the cover, and looked inside.
That’s when my stomach dropped.
There was something else in there.
A small device. Not part of the detector.
A lens.
A hidden camera.
