The first cut into the wall began just after sunrise.<\/p>\n
Detective Susan Carter stood several feet back while the specialized rescue crew worked around the section identified by the radar. No one wanted to bring the concrete down in a single violent collapse. If Lily\u2019s memory was accurate, they did not know what\u2014or whom\u2014the sealed cavity contained.<\/p>\n
Thomas had been removed from the house before the cutting started.<\/p>\n
He had watched the equipment arrive without asking a single question.<\/p>\n
That silence bothered Carter.<\/p>\n
Most suspects protested when investigators approached the place holding their worst secrets. They demanded lawyers, complained about damaged property, insisted the police had misunderstood everything.<\/p>\n
Thomas merely watched.<\/p>\n
As officers led him toward a patrol car, he turned his head once and looked toward the basement windows.<\/p>\n
Then he smiled.<\/p>\n
Not broadly.<\/p>\n
Just enough for Carter to notice.<\/p>\n
Now the concrete saw screamed against the hidden wall.<\/p>\n
Daniel Harris stood near the stairs with Mary Davis. Neither officer technically needed to remain. Detectives had taken over the case, forensic teams had secured the property, and their original welfare check had evolved into something far beyond ordinary patrol work.<\/p>\n
Neither wanted to leave.<\/p>\n
Daniel watched gray dust collect around the plastic barriers.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou ever had a call change this fast?\u201d Mary asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMe neither.\u201d<\/p>\n
A section of concrete finally loosened.<\/p>\n
Workers supported it while another cut was made along the bottom.<\/p>\n
Carter moved closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cSlowly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The crew eased the slab outward.<\/p>\n
Cold air seeped through the opening.<\/p>\n
The smell followed.<\/p>\n
Mary immediately covered her mouth.<\/p>\n
Daniel\u2019s expression changed.<\/p>\n
He recognized the odor from previous death investigations.<\/p>\n
Decay had mostly faded with time, but it had not disappeared.<\/p>\n
Carter pulled on a respirator.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one enters until structural safety confirms it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flashlights pierced the narrow gap.<\/p>\n
At first they revealed only darkness and another rough wall several feet beyond.<\/p>\n
Then one beam crossed something pale.<\/p>\n
A chair.<\/p>\n
Carter leaned closer.<\/p>\n
\u201cMove the light left.\u201d<\/p>\n
The technician obeyed.<\/p>\n
A small table appeared beside the chair.<\/p>\n
On it sat a ceramic cup.<\/p>\n
Beside the cup lay a hairbrush containing long strands of dark hair.<\/p>\n
Mary whispered, \u201cSomeone lived in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel corrected her quietly.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone was kept in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The structural specialist checked the exposed edges and cleared a controlled opening large enough for investigators.<\/p>\n
Carter entered first.<\/p>\n
The hidden room was barely wider than a walk-in closet.<\/p>\n
There was no natural light.<\/p>\n
A narrow cot occupied one wall. A bucket sat behind a crude privacy screen. Empty water bottles had been stacked neatly in one corner.<\/p>\n
A child\u2019s drawing had been taped above the cot.<\/p>\n
Three figures stood beneath a yellow sun.<\/p>\n
One adult woman.<\/p>\n
One small girl.<\/p>\n
One small boy.<\/p>\n
Across the top, written in shaky blue letters, were four words.<\/p>\n
WE ARE GOING HOME.<\/p>\n
Carter stared at the drawing for several seconds.<\/p>\n
\u201cPhotograph everything before we move anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel remained at the opening.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you see?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter pointed toward the far corner.<\/p>\n
A blanket had been folded there.<\/p>\n
Something lay beneath it.<\/p>\n
The shape was too small to be an adult.<\/p>\n
Mary stopped breathing for a second.<\/p>\n
Carter approached carefully.<\/p>\n
She lifted one edge of the blanket.<\/p>\n
A plastic doll stared back at her.<\/p>\n
Mary released a breath she had not realized she was holding.<\/p>\n
Then Carter noticed the doll\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n
Someone had written a name inside the tiny fabric collar.<\/p>\n
Sophie.<\/p>\n
\u201cMary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary stepped into the room.<\/p>\n
Carter handed her the doll without touching the marked area.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmily said Sophie had been here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary read the name.<\/p>\n
Her face tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen Sophie was real.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLooks that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel called from the doorway.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything indicating where she went?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter turned toward the cot.<\/p>\n
Beneath it was a flat metal box.<\/p>\n
She crouched.<\/p>\n
The box had no lock.<\/p>\n
Inside were photographs.<\/p>\n
Dozens.<\/p>\n
Some had been printed professionally. Others looked like instant-camera shots.<\/p>\n
Children appeared in almost every image.<\/p>\n
Different children.<\/p>\n
Different ages.<\/p>\n
Some smiled because they had not yet understood what was happening.<\/p>\n
Others stared toward the camera with guarded expressions.<\/p>\n
Mary recognized Lily immediately.<\/p>\n
She appeared younger, healthier, standing beside Thomas in a park.<\/p>\n
Another photograph showed the dusty rabbit discovered upstairs.<\/p>\n
A little brunette girl held it tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat could be Sophie,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n
Carter examined the back.<\/p>\n
A date had been written in black ink.<\/p>\n
Four years earlier.<\/p>\n
Beneath the date were initials.<\/p>\n
S.R.<\/p>\n
Mary looked at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurname?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe.\u201d<\/p>\n
The next photograph showed a boy.<\/p>\n
Then another girl.<\/p>\n
Then a toddler.<\/p>\n
Daniel entered far enough to see over Carter\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow many?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToo many.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter continued through the stack until she found an adult woman.<\/p>\n
Emily resembled her around the eyes.<\/p>\n
Mary saw it immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmily\u2019s mother?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter turned the photograph over.<\/p>\n
Rachel Miller.<\/p>\n
The date was from shortly before Thomas claimed his wife had abandoned the family.<\/p>\n
Rachel stood beside a lake wearing jeans and an orange scarf.<\/p>\n
She was smiling at whoever held the camera.<\/p>\n
Mary remembered what Emily had told Claire.<\/p>\n
Her mother smelled like oranges.<\/p>\n
\u201cRachel,\u201d Mary said.<\/p>\n
Carter nodded.<\/p>\n
At least now the missing mother had a name.<\/p>\n
Another photograph showed Rachel sitting with Emily, who could not have been more than four.<\/p>\n
Someone had torn Thomas from the right side of the picture.<\/p>\n
Not cut him away.<\/p>\n
Torn him out.<\/p>\n
Daniel studied the ripped edge.<\/p>\n
\u201cRachel may have done that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOr someone wanted it to look like she did.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter placed the photograph into an evidence sleeve.<\/p>\n
Behind the pictures lay a notebook.<\/p>\n
Its cover had been decorated with small flowers drawn in pen.<\/p>\n
The first pages contained ordinary household notes.<\/p>\n
Groceries.<\/p>\n
Appointments.<\/p>\n
Emily\u2019s pediatric visits.<\/p>\n
A reminder to buy laundry detergent.<\/p>\n
Then the handwriting changed.<\/p>\n
The lines became smaller and more crowded.<\/p>\n
Thomas checks my phone while I sleep.<\/p>\n
Carter continued.<\/p>\n
He says I imagine things.<\/p>\n
Another entry.<\/p>\n
Found girl\u2019s shoe in basement. Thomas says it belonged to cousin\u2019s child. We do not have a cousin with a daughter that age.<\/p>\n
Mary read over Carter\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
The next page was dated eight days later.<\/p>\n
Someone cried downstairs after midnight.<\/p>\n
Thomas told me it was television.<\/p>\n
There was no television downstairs.<\/p>\n
Daniel looked toward the sealed room.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long had Rachel known?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLong enough to start documenting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter turned another page.<\/p>\n
Thomas introduced a man named Victor. Says Victor helps with business. Emily hates when Victor visits.<\/p>\n
Mary repeated the name softly.<\/p>\n
\u201cVictor.\u201d<\/p>\n
The unidentified second man finally had something approaching an identity.<\/p>\n
Carter kept reading.<\/p>\n
A later entry mentioned Lily.<\/p>\n
Not by name.<\/p>\n
There is a little girl.<\/p>\n
I saw her.<\/p>\n
Thomas caught me near basement.<\/p>\n
He said if I ever went down again, Emily would lose her mother permanently.<\/p>\n
The handwriting on the next line had been pressed so hard the pen tore through the paper.<\/p>\n
I think he means it.<\/p>\n
No one spoke.<\/p>\n
Carter turned several more pages.<\/p>\n
The final intact entry was dated three years earlier.<\/p>\n
I found where he keeps the second key.<\/p>\n
Tonight, when Thomas sleeps, I\u2019m getting the child out.<\/p>\n
If I fail, I\u2019ve hidden copies where he won\u2019t think to look.<\/p>\n
Mary\u2019s eyes lifted.<\/p>\n
\u201cCopies of what?\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter closed the notebook carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we need to find.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel glanced around the hidden room.<\/p>\n
\u201cRachel got in here somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Thomas sealed it afterward.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich means whatever happened to her may have happened here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The forensic team continued cataloging.<\/p>\n
Behind the cot, technicians found scratches in the wall.<\/p>\n
Not random.<\/p>\n
Dates.<\/p>\n
Twenty-six dates, arranged vertically.<\/p>\n
The last one corresponded closely with the day Rachel had supposedly left the family.<\/p>\n
Beside the final date was a sentence.<\/p>\n
EMILY, I DID NOT LEAVE YOU.<\/p>\n
Mary stared at it.<\/p>\n
Her throat tightened.<\/p>\n
Rachel had known exactly what story Thomas would tell.<\/p>\n
Carter photographed the message herself.<\/p>\n
Then another technician called from the corner.<\/p>\n
\u201cDetective.\u201d<\/p>\n
He had moved a loose section of baseboard.<\/p>\n
Behind it was a small cavity.<\/p>\n
Inside sat a memory card wrapped in plastic.<\/p>\n
Carter held it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cCopies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The card went immediately into digital evidence processing.<\/p>\n
Before noon, investigators recovered its first files.<\/p>\n
Rachel had photographed documents.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s bank transfers.<\/p>\n
Vehicle registrations.<\/p>\n
Lists of names.<\/p>\n
Addresses.<\/p>\n
Dates.<\/p>\n
Several images showed a storage facility on the south side of Springfield.<\/p>\n
One photograph captured Thomas with another man.<\/p>\n
The second man was broad-shouldered, gray-haired, and noticeably older.<\/p>\n
Mary leaned over the monitor.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s probably Victor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter enlarged the image.<\/p>\n
The man had turned partly toward the camera.<\/p>\n
His face was clear.<\/p>\n
Daniel recognized him.<\/p>\n
His stomach tightened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen him before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter looked up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere?\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel searched his memory.<\/p>\n
Then it landed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThree months ago. Missing child case. He came to the command post.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat missing child?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSix-year-old boy. Aaron Blake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter was already typing.<\/p>\n
Daniel continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis guy said he was a volunteer. Helped distribute flyers. Brought coffee to the search teams.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas Aaron found?\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary went still.<\/p>\n
Carter pulled up the case.<\/p>\n
Aaron Blake.<\/p>\n
Age six.<\/p>\n
Missing for ninety-four days.<\/p>\n
Last seen walking home from a neighborhood birthday party.<\/p>\n
The photograph showed a thin boy with brown hair and a gap where one front tooth had fallen out.<\/p>\n
Carter returned to the photographs found in Thomas\u2019s metal box.<\/p>\n
She spread them across an evidence table.<\/p>\n
Daniel saw it first.<\/p>\n
Near the bottom of the pile was a boy wearing a green jacket.<\/p>\n
Missing front tooth.<\/p>\n
Aaron Blake.<\/p>\n
The room seemed to contract around them.<\/p>\n
Mary whispered, \u201cHe was here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter checked the date written on the back.<\/p>\n
Six days after Aaron\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n
She picked up her phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cGet the Blake case detective here now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel stared at the photograph.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Aaron was in this house three months ago, where is he now?\u201d<\/p>\n
No one had an answer.<\/p>\n
The question grew worse when digital technicians opened another folder from Rachel\u2019s memory card.<\/p>\n
The folder contained video.<\/p>\n
Rachel had filmed through a crack in the basement door.<\/p>\n
Thomas and Victor stood beside the shelves.<\/p>\n
Victor spoke first.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re keeping too many at the house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thomas answered, \u201cTemporary.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said that last time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything is handled.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victor looked toward a closed door\u2014the room later used to hold Lily.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the mother?\u201d<\/p>\n
Rachel\u2019s camera trembled.<\/p>\n
Thomas\u2019s reply was low but audible.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe won\u2019t be a problem much longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
The video ended.<\/p>\n
Mary stared at the frozen image.<\/p>\n
Rachel had recorded her own death threat.<\/p>\n
Carter ordered an immediate statewide bulletin for Victor.<\/p>\n
Facial-recognition systems and law-enforcement databases began working from the image.<\/p>\n
They had a first name, a face, and probable involvement in multiple child disappearances.<\/p>\n
It was enough to start.<\/p>\n
At the hospital, Emily had not yet been told what investigators found behind the concrete wall.<\/p>\n
She sat on a pediatric bed wearing donated clothing while a nurse finished examining scratches on her arm.<\/p>\n
Lily occupied another room nearby.<\/p>\n
Neither girl wanted the other moved far away.<\/p>\n
A forensic interviewer named Dr. Karen Wallace sat with Emily while Mary joined remotely from the station.<\/p>\n
Karen did not mention Rachel\u2019s notebook.<\/p>\n
Instead she asked Emily about Sophie.<\/p>\n
Emily twisted the ear of her stuffed rabbit.<\/p>\n
\u201cSophie was nice.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you meet her?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was upstairs once.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWas your dad there?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho brought Sophie upstairs?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary leaned closer to the monitor.<\/p>\n
Karen asked, \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy told Sophie to be quiet. They were going to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLeave the house?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid they?\u201d<\/p>\n
The child stared at the rabbit.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat stopped them?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy came home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily\u2019s voice dropped.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was supposed to be gone longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karen allowed silence.<\/p>\n
Emily continued on her own.<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy told me to hide.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere did you hide?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the laundry closet.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you hear?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily\u2019s fingers froze.<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy yelling.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was he saying?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Mommy ruined everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you hear Sophie?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe cried.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you hear anyone else?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily looked up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other man.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karen\u2019s expression remained calm.<\/p>\n
\u201cVictor?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily recoiled so sharply that her shoulder hit the bed rail.<\/p>\n
Mary\u2019s pulse jumped.<\/p>\n
Karen immediately softened her tone.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know that name?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWorse than your father?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily\u2019s eyes filled.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDaddy gets angry.\u201d<\/p>\n
She took a shaky breath.<\/p>\n
\u201cVictor likes it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary felt a chill travel through her.<\/p>\n
Karen did not ask the child to explain further.<\/p>\n
Not yet.<\/p>\n
Instead she said, \u201cDo you know where Sophie went after that night?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily shook her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you ever see her again?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about your mom?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDid your father tell you they left?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said Mommy ran away and Sophie went somewhere better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily looked directly at Karen.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he lies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d Karen said carefully. \u201cAdults sometimes lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily rubbed at one thumbnail.<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy told me something before Daddy came home.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said if anything happened, I should remember a number.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karen leaned forward slightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat number?\u201d<\/p>\n
Emily recited seven digits.<\/p>\n
Mary wrote them immediately.<\/p>\n
It was not a telephone number.<\/p>\n
Daniel searched internal databases.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
Then Carter tried the storage facility shown in Rachel\u2019s photographs.<\/p>\n
The manager checked the numbers.<\/p>\n
His expression changed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a unit access code.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter was already reaching for her jacket.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhose unit?\u201d<\/p>\n
The manager typed again.<\/p>\n
The account name appeared.<\/p>\n
Not Thomas Miller.<\/p>\n
Victor Hale.<\/p>\n
Daniel stared at the screen.<\/p>\n
The surname finally gave them what they needed.<\/p>\n
Victor Hale, sixty-one.<\/p>\n
Former private security contractor.<\/p>\n
Multiple residences over twenty years.<\/p>\n
No serious convictions.<\/p>\n
And one more fact.<\/p>\n
Victor had worked for twelve years as a maintenance supervisor for the Springfield public school district.<\/p>\n
He had possessed keys.<\/p>\n
Access.<\/p>\n
Knowledge of children\u2019s schedules.<\/p>\n
Carter ordered officers to secure the storage facility immediately.<\/p>\n
Then the system returned Victor\u2019s current registered address.<\/p>\n
It was less than fifteen minutes from the hospital where Emily and Lily were being treated.<\/p>\n
Mary looked at Carter.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need officers there now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carter grabbed her radio.<\/p>\n
Before she could transmit, her phone rang.<\/p>\n
The hospital.<\/p>\n
Mary answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficer Davis.\u201d<\/p>\n
A security guard spoke rapidly.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficer, we have a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary stood.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA man tried to enter the pediatric floor using a maintenance badge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her blood went cold.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat man?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe ran when we challenged him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDescription.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guard gave it.<\/p>\n
Gray hair.<\/p>\n
Broad shoulders.<\/p>\n
Early sixties.<\/p>\n
Carter was already moving.<\/p>\n
Mary asked the only question that mattered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere is he now?\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a pause.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe lost him in the parking garage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary looked toward the photograph of Victor Hale.<\/p>\n
He had found them.<\/p>\n
The first cut into the wall began just after sunrise. Detective Susan Carter stood several feet back while the specialized rescue crew worked around the section identified by the radar. … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23604,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23609","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\/23609","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=23609"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23644,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23609\/revisions\/23644"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
