Dad wanted to do the interview.<\/p>\n
Of course he did.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d Mercer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone keeps saying no to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause you keep wanting to walk into traps.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat isn\u2019t a legal category.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt should be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s deadline counted down.<\/p>\n
Fifty-seven minutes.<\/p>\n
The article about me continued spreading.<\/p>\n
So did clips questioning Dad\u2019s competence.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s narrative had escaped containment.<\/p>\n
This was not about winning public opinion forever.<\/p>\n
Only creating doubt now.<\/p>\n
Enough doubt to complicate trust proceedings.<\/p>\n
Enough to poison potential jurors.<\/p>\n
Enough to make witnesses defensive.<\/p>\n
Enough to force us into mistakes.<\/p>\n
Dad stared at Simon\u2019s message.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has Eleanor\u2019s interview.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe part of it,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has her voice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo did Thomas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat clip sounded real.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReal doesn\u2019t mean complete.\u201d<\/p>\n
We had learned that lesson repeatedly.<\/p>\n
Mercer agreed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo not respond until we know what Simon has.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFind the original.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere? Another ceiling?\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe.<\/p>\n
Mom had caches everywhere.<\/p>\n
But Clara gave us the first lead.<\/p>\n
Simon used a portable recorder.<\/p>\n
Old digital model.<\/p>\n
When he interviewed sensitive sources, he made two copies.<\/p>\n
One local.<\/p>\n
One remote.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere remote?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNewsroom server.\u201d<\/p>\n
The television station had changed ownership twice.<\/p>\n
Archives existed.<\/p>\n
Mercer obtained emergency access through prosecutors.<\/p>\n
The station\u2019s IT manager searched old backups.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s files were partially intact.<\/p>\n
Folder:<\/p>\n
ECOLE_INTERVIEW_RAW.<\/p>\n
Dad stopped moving.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlay it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The file was encrypted.<\/p>\n
Of course.<\/p>\n
Password hint:<\/p>\n
first lie.<\/p>\n
Nobody knew.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s first lie?<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s?<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s?<\/p>\n
Dad looked at me.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
I thought of Mom.<\/p>\n
The affair?<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
That was a lie by omission.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s first crime?<\/p>\n
The hit-and-run.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s first manipulation?<\/p>\n
Dad\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n
Clara\u2019s first lie?<\/p>\n
Moving next door.<\/p>\n
Then Vanessa spoke.<\/p>\n
\u201cFuneral.\u201d<\/p>\n
We turned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first public lie after Mom died was the funeral.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s eulogy.<\/p>\n
Harold\u2019s official account.<\/p>\n
Immediate cardiac death.<\/p>\n
No suspicious circumstances.<\/p>\n
Simon had attended.<\/p>\n
Maybe his password referenced the story he helped maintain.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was Mom\u2019s listed cause?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
Dad answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cCardiac arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Too generic.<\/p>\n
Mercer tried variations.<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
Vanessa thought again.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did Simon call the segment after Mom died?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad frowned.<\/p>\n
There had been a local obituary profile because Mom volunteered extensively.<\/p>\n
Simon produced it.<\/p>\n
Title:<\/p>\n
A Quiet Life Well Lived.<\/p>\n
Mercer entered QUIETLIFE.<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
Then Dad remembered one phrase Simon used on air.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe never wanted attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
The file opened.<\/p>\n
Password:<\/p>\n
NOATTENTION.<\/p>\n
Dad stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cEleanor would hate that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because Mom absolutely wanted attention when something was wrong.<\/p>\n
She hated false modesty around injustice.<\/p>\n
Maybe Simon chose the phrase as irony.<\/p>\n
The raw interview lasted ninety-four minutes.<\/p>\n
Recorded two days before Mom died.<\/p>\n
We began.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s voice sounded warm.<\/p>\n
Professional.<\/p>\n
He thanked Mom for meeting.<\/p>\n
Said he wanted to understand her concerns about property fraud.<\/p>\n
Dad stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo he knew.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
Mom began cautiously.<\/p>\n
She described unusual estate acquisitions.<\/p>\n
Elderly homeowners pressured after family deaths.<\/p>\n
Funeral information appearing in development negotiations.<\/p>\n
Simon asked precise questions.<\/p>\n
Too precise.<\/p>\n
He already knew some answers.<\/p>\n
Mom noticed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know about Pike Memorial?\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon paused.<\/p>\n
Then said he had sources.<\/p>\n
Mom challenged him.<\/p>\n
Which sources?<\/p>\n
He refused.<\/p>\n
She said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we\u2019re wasting time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad almost smiled.<\/p>\n
The interview sharpened.<\/p>\n
Mom stopped being source and began interrogating reporter.<\/p>\n
She asked Simon how long he had known Grant.<\/p>\n
Simon deflected.<\/p>\n
Mom asked whether Grant fed him stories about families resisting sales.<\/p>\n
Simon said sometimes developers provide background.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cBackground is what people call manipulation when they want a press credential around it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon grew defensive.<\/p>\n
He insisted journalism required relationships.<\/p>\n
Mom asked whether those relationships included suppressing evidence.<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Then she named Thomas.<\/p>\n
Harold.<\/p>\n
Daniel.<\/p>\n
Marcus.<\/p>\n
Simon stopped sounding relaxed.<\/p>\n
He asked what proof she had.<\/p>\n
Mom refused to say.<\/p>\n
Instead she asked him whether he knew about Andrew Mercer.<\/p>\n
The room went still.<\/p>\n
Dad looked toward Mercer.<\/p>\n
Her face hardened.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s response took six seconds.<\/p>\n
Long enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about Andrew?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon denied it.<\/p>\n
Mom pushed.<\/p>\n
She said David Pike\u2019s records showed payments to a reporter after Andrew\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Simon became angry.<\/p>\n
He said she was accusing him of crimes.<\/p>\n
Mom corrected:<\/p>\n
\u201cI am asking whether you took money to help a murder disappear from public memory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad whispered, \u201cJesus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon threatened to end the interview.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cThen end it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He did not.<\/p>\n
That told her enough.<\/p>\n
She continued.<\/p>\n
The famous ten-second clip appeared thirty-one minutes in.<\/p>\n
Full context.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI kept Frank ignorant because Thomas made ignorance safer than knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon asked:<\/p>\n
\u201cEasier to control?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom replied:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn one sense, yes. I could control what danger reached him. That was wrong. But do not confuse protecting someone badly with wanting power over them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The edited clip Simon sent Dad removed everything after:<\/p>\n
I kept Frank ignorant because he was easier to control that way.<\/p>\n
He had altered wording too.<\/p>\n
Not only shortened.<\/p>\n
Stitched two phrases.<\/p>\n
The raw interview proved manipulation.<\/p>\n
Mercer\u2019s forensic analyst confirmed it quickly.<\/p>\n
Dad looked relieved.<\/p>\n
Then angry.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimon knows we might have the raw file.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe not.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe archived it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNewsroom did.\u201d<\/p>\n
If he assumed ownership changes destroyed backups, he might believe the original was gone.<\/p>\n
We kept listening.<\/p>\n
Mom explained why she had not told Dad about the affair sooner.<\/p>\n
Why she had once believed silence could contain Harold.<\/p>\n
Why she later changed course.<\/p>\n
She admitted fault.<\/p>\n
Refused sainthood.<\/p>\n
Exactly like her cassette.<\/p>\n
Then she revealed something new.<\/p>\n
Simon asked why she trusted Mallory after his misconduct.<\/p>\n
Mom answered:<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood.\u201d<\/p>\n
She used Mallory because compromised people sometimes cooperate when self-preservation aligns with truth.<\/p>\n
Simon asked whether that was cynical.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Cynicism is believing people never choose better. I believe choices remain available until someone makes the next bad one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vanessa looked down.<\/p>\n
Mom had lived by that.<\/p>\n
Even toward people who failed repeatedly.<\/p>\n
Not absolution.<\/p>\n
Possibility.<\/p>\n
Near the end Simon asked:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happens if Grant finds out you\u2019re talking to me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe already knows.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon went silent.<\/p>\n
Mom continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe sent you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon denied it.<\/p>\n
Mom laughed.<\/p>\n
Not kindly.<\/p>\n
She said the questions were wrong for a reporter discovering a story.<\/p>\n
Too focused on locations of evidence.<\/p>\n
Too interested in who knew.<\/p>\n
Too little interest in victims.<\/p>\n
She knew Simon was gathering intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not interviewing me,\u201d she said. \u201cYou\u2019re inventorying me.\u201d<\/p>\n
My skin prickled.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s file language.<\/p>\n
Inventory.<\/p>\n
Simon asked why she kept talking.<\/p>\n
Mom replied:<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I wanted you recorded too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad looked at me.<\/p>\n
She had deliberately sat with a compromised journalist to capture his behavior.<\/p>\n
Another trap.<\/p>\n
Then Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I die after this, you will publish whatever Grant tells you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon angrily denied it.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. You will do something worse. You will publish pieces of truth arranged so nobody knows what to believe.\u201d<\/p>\n
Exactly what happened.<\/p>\n
Three years later.<\/p>\n
From beyond death, Mom had described the strategy.<\/p>\n
The raw interview ended with Simon standing.<\/p>\n
Mom called after him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne more thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ever use Frank or Natalie publicly, I sent a copy of this conversation somewhere your editors cannot delete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Simon asked where.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll know when they play it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The file ended.<\/p>\n
Dad stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe planned for this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
But where was her external copy?<\/p>\n
Maybe David.<\/p>\n
Maybe Marian.<\/p>\n
Maybe Box 1204.<\/p>\n
Mercer searched Mom\u2019s archive drives.<\/p>\n
There.<\/p>\n
Folder:<\/p>\n
SIMON.<\/p>\n
Full raw interview.<\/p>\n
Authentication hashes.<\/p>\n
A written release signed by Mom authorizing publication if Simon materially misrepresented the conversation after her death.<\/p>\n
Dad smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe left permission.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer looked at the clock.<\/p>\n
Thirty-two minutes until Simon\u2019s deadline.<\/p>\n
Dad said, \u201cPublish it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not the entire private conversation.<\/p>\n
Mercer cautioned.<\/p>\n
Some portions involved ongoing investigations and deeply personal information.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s authorization did not require dumping everything.<\/p>\n
Only enough to correct manipulation.<\/p>\n
The prosecutor approved release of a verified excerpt.<\/p>\n
Mom\u2019s complete statement about Dad.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s acknowledgment of Grant as a source.<\/p>\n
Mom confronting him about Andrew.<\/p>\n
Forensic confirmation that Simon\u2019s ten-second clip was edited.<\/p>\n
Dad recorded no response.<\/p>\n
He did not go live.<\/p>\n
That mattered.<\/p>\n
Simon wanted conflict.<\/p>\n
A grieving husband defending himself emotionally.<\/p>\n
Instead the evidence spoke.<\/p>\n
Just as Mom instructed.<\/p>\n
The station published the verified raw excerpts with forensic context.<\/p>\n
The story shifted.<\/p>\n
Not universally.<\/p>\n
Nothing public ever moves that cleanly.<\/p>\n
Some outlets corrected.<\/p>\n
Some hedged.<\/p>\n
Some repeated the earlier allegations anyway.<\/p>\n
But Simon\u2019s credibility cracked.<\/p>\n
The live interview threat lost leverage.<\/p>\n
Then Simon published his \u201cfull recording.\u201d<\/p>\n
It lasted twenty-eight minutes.<\/p>\n
Omitted Mom\u2019s confrontation.<\/p>\n
Omitted Grant.<\/p>\n
Omitted Andrew.<\/p>\n
Omitted Simon\u2019s admissions.<\/p>\n
The comparison was devastating.<\/p>\n
Dad watched side-by-side waveforms.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can actually see where he cut it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The analyst nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cMultiple edits.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad looked impressed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI like science.\u201d<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
Simon disappeared from public contact.<\/p>\n
His editor claimed he had submitted remotely.<\/p>\n
No current location.<\/p>\n
But the raw interview gave investigators a new lead.<\/p>\n
At one point, a phone rang in Simon\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
He answered briefly.<\/p>\n
Mom waited.<\/p>\n
The caller\u2019s voice faintly leaked through.<\/p>\n
Forensic enhancement isolated it.<\/p>\n
Grant.<\/p>\n
Younger.<\/p>\n
Mom had been right.<\/p>\n
Grant sent Simon.<\/p>\n
But after Simon ended the call, another sound appeared.<\/p>\n
A second person in the room.<\/p>\n
Not visible.<\/p>\n
A man coughed.<\/p>\n
Mom said:<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can come out now, Marcus.\u201d<\/p>\n
We stared.<\/p>\n
Marcus had been present during the interview.<\/p>\n
Hidden.<\/p>\n
He told investigators he was not.<\/p>\n
Another lie.<\/p>\n
Mercer confronted him.<\/p>\n
Marcus closed his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrant wanted backup.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cRecording?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cObservation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat were you supposed to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFind out where Eleanor kept evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened after Simon left?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus looked toward the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cEleanor talked to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad\u2019s face hardened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did she say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Grant would eventually turn on me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you believe her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I understood Grant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad laughed bitterly.<\/p>\n
\u201cPopular mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus continued.<\/p>\n
Mom told him Thomas was his father.<\/p>\n
That shocked us.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou knew before this week?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe implied it. Didn\u2019t say directly.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat exactly?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said Thomas\u2019s interest in me wasn\u2019t professional.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you ask Thomas?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did he say?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Eleanor was trying to divide us.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Marcus chose to believe Thomas.<\/p>\n
Another choice.<\/p>\n
Mom also offered Marcus a way out.<\/p>\n
Take copies.<\/p>\n
Go to prosecutors.<\/p>\n
Tell everything.<\/p>\n
She would confirm his cooperation.<\/p>\n
He refused.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marcus looked at Dad through the glass.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I was making too much money.\u201d<\/p>\n
No blackmail excuse.<\/p>\n
Not yet.<\/p>\n
Money.<\/p>\n
Then later Grant learned paternity and added leverage.<\/p>\n
But Marcus\u2019s first refusal was simpler.<\/p>\n
Benefit.<\/p>\n
Dad nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Understanding later coercion could not erase earlier choice.<\/p>\n
Marcus admitted something else.<\/p>\n
After Mom died, he went back to Simon.<\/p>\n
Asked for the raw interview.<\/p>\n
Simon refused.<\/p>\n
Marcus told Grant.<\/p>\n
Grant ordered Simon to destroy it.<\/p>\n
Simon claimed he did.<\/p>\n
He lied.<\/p>\n
Everyone kept backups.<\/p>\n
Everyone distrusted everyone.<\/p>\n
That paranoia now served the investigation.<\/p>\n
Simon\u2019s name appeared in the succession archive under media assets.<\/p>\n
One emergency safe location:<\/p>\n
Broadcast relay cabin, North Ridge.<\/p>\n
Mercer dispatched officers.<\/p>\n
They found Simon there.<\/p>\n
Alive.<\/p>\n
Packing.<\/p>\n
He surrendered when surrounded.<\/p>\n
No gun.<\/p>\n
No drama.<\/p>\n
In his bag:<\/p>\n
Laptop.<\/p>\n
Cash.<\/p>\n
False passport.<\/p>\n
And one envelope addressed to Grant.<\/p>\n
Inside was a typed memo.<\/p>\n
PUBLIC FAILURE PROTOCOL.<\/p>\n
If arrests begin:<\/p>\n
Question Frank\u2019s competence.<\/p>\n
Frame Natalie as manipulator.<\/p>\n
Release Eleanor fragments.<\/p>\n
Suggest family greed motive.<\/p>\n
Discredit Mercer through Rebecca.<\/p>\n
If necessary, surface Andrew as tragic accident and blame Harold alone.<\/p>\n
Dad stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlame Harold alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Grant had prepared to sacrifice everyone.<\/p>\n
Harold.<\/p>\n
Thomas.<\/p>\n
Marcus.<\/p>\n
Daniel.<\/p>\n
Simon.<\/p>\n
Even himself partially, if needed, so long as the deeper network and money survived.<\/p>\n
The protocol ended with:<\/p>\n
Never allow unified narrative.<\/p>\n
Confusion is survivable.<\/p>\n
That may have been Grant\u2019s deepest strategy.<\/p>\n
Not proving innocence.<\/p>\n
Making truth feel impossible.<\/p>\n
Mom had built the opposite.<\/p>\n
Redundancy.<\/p>\n
Context.<\/p>\n
Originals.<\/p>\n
Multiple witnesses.<\/p>\n
A unified record.<\/p>\n
Mercer\u2019s phone rang.<\/p>\n
Federal prosecutors.<\/p>\n
The succession archive had been fully imaged.<\/p>\n
Accounts were freezing.<\/p>\n
Shell companies seized.<\/p>\n
False identities flagged.<\/p>\n
Network participants arrested in three states.<\/p>\n
Dad listened.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about Grant?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew charges are being prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Harold?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSame.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThomas?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSame.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSimon?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLikely conspiracy, obstruction and fraud-related charges, with more under review.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dad sat.<\/p>\n
For the first time, the system sounded less like a monster and more like paperwork.<\/p>\n
Exactly as Mom predicted.<\/p>\n
Then Mercer received one final alert from the archive.<\/p>\n
An automated release had triggered when Simon\u2019s public protocol failed.<\/p>\n
A message sent to multiple participants.<\/p>\n
One sentence:<\/p>\n
If narrative collapse occurs, remove source family.<\/p>\n
Dad went still.<\/p>\n
\u201cSource family?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mercer read the attached code.<\/p>\n
F.<\/p>\n
N.<\/p>\n
V.<\/p>\n
Ethan.<\/p>\n
All of us.<\/p>\n
Grant\u2019s final contingency was not reputation.<\/p>\n
It was elimination.<\/p>\n
And the archive showed the order had been sent before his arrest.<\/p>\n
To one recipient still unaccounted for.<\/p>\n
Code name:<\/p>\n
SABLE.<\/p>\n
Nobody knew who Sable was.<\/p>\n
Dad wanted to do the interview. Of course he did. \u201cNo,\u201d Mercer said. \u201cEveryone keeps saying no to me.\u201d \u201cBecause you keep wanting to walk into traps.\u201d \u201cThat isn\u2019t a … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18275,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insightdrama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18311"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18364,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18311\/revisions\/18364"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
