"I'm singing in the rain," Big E sang lowly.

Big E stepped around the corner of the house and grinned at Priya and Elias. He walked over and sat down on one of the chairs.

"Tell me what I'm working with," Big E said.
"The camera must be in the living room. Seth never left it last week. He must have placed it while I was in the kitchen getting some water for us. He didn't have much time to find a hiding spot but I know my brother. He had it planned out before entering our home," Priya said.
"Also, we had sex in the living room last night. That's what we saw," Elias said.
"Ah, getting down and dirty," Big E chuckled. "We all need that sometimes. I'm not even gonna ask. No matter how you did it, no one likes to get some secret sex tape released. Finish your wine, pretty boy, and let's get started."

Big E pointed at Elias' glass of wine. It was lukewarm by now. Elias still emptied it and placed the empty glass back down.

"Where's the relay?" Big E asked.
"Next to the front door," Elias answered.
"Okay, you two go back inside and act normal. Walk into the living room so that Seth sees you on the camera. I'm gonna go back around and turn off the relay 3 minutes from now. Just in case he's connected it to the wall or it's hooked up with your internet. I'm also gonna use my little, homemade scrambler to block out any other signal in case it runs on batteries. I got you covered," Big E said.

Priya handed Big E the key to the front door. Priya and Elias did as they were asked. They walked back into the living room, sat down on the couch, and turned on the tv. Big E opened the front door soundlessly and turned off the relay 3 minutes later as promised. He came walking into the living room with a device in his hands.

"If there's a camera in here, my baby will find it," he patted the device. "Let's get started."

He walked over to the first wall and started scanning the wall up and down. Priya's phone started ringing and Big E looked over at her.

"Brother dearest?" Big E asked.
"How did you know?" Priya asked.
"He was watching," Big E smirked. "Answer it. The relay went out. Not your fault. Just make sure to keep him away from here."

Priya nodded and answered her phone.

"I'm not in the mood, Seth," she said annoyed.
"We need to talk about this. I can come back over or you can come here," he said.
"I said I'm not in the mood. Our relay just went out and I'm out of fuses so I'm on my way to the store for new ones," she said.
"Oh," he sounded more relaxed. "That makes sense. Let's talk later."
"I need at least a day to wrap my head around your little visit. Give me space," she said.
"One day," he said. "I'll call you tomorrow after work and we will figure this out."

Priya hung up and nodded at Big E. He continued his search for the camera. The device he was holding suddenly started beeping. He grinned and held up a tiny camera he had found between Priya's collection of ceramic cats.

"Clever hiding spot. You wouldn't have noticed it unless you were over here cleaning," Big E said.
"What do we do now?" Elias asked.
"Now we figure out what to do next. If I remove the camera, he will know you found it," Big E looked at Priya. "Priya, are you sure he's that cruel that he'll release a tape of his own sister?"
"You don't know my brother," Priya said.
"He gets off on controlling people," Elias said. "He's against our relationship because he feels like he's lost control over her."
"He never fucking had it!" Priya hissed.
"I know, kitten. You're a free spirit. But it doesn't change the fact that he's tried breaking us up before and always offers his home as your solution. Even if we ever did break up, you can be damn sure I'd rather buy a whole new house for you than let you go stay with him. He would never let you leave again. Your brother is not right in the head."

Priya just nodded. She knew Elias was right. She had tried many times breaking free from Seth, but Seth never allowed it. He always found a way back in, and he always tried to control her and everything around her.

"I'm so tired of him," Priya mumbled.
"Okay, we know where the camera is," Big E placed the camera back down. "Now I need to get inside his house to get the footage. Do you know where he might keep it?"
"His personal laptop. He has two. One for work and his personal one. He leaves all his important things on the personal one. He has a security system in his home, and I know he's watching the cameras at work on his work laptop," Priya said.
"Let me know what security system he uses, and I can hack my way in and record an entire day of his empty house. I can loop it around for him to see when we're in there," Big E said.
"That sounds like a solid plan," Elias said.
"No, it doesn't," Priya said. "You heard him. We have until tomorrow after work. If I don't agree to whatever terms he will have by then, that footage is going out. I won't be surprised if he'll create fake profiles on all social medias and send it to everyone we know. And post it publicly for the world to see as well."

Big E nodded at that information. Time was short but that hadn't stopped him before.

"Okay, okay," Big E said. "So we enter his house tomorrow while he's at work."
"Will you cut the power to his house?" Elias asked.
"Tell me the security system he uses and I will put a virus in their system to shut it down. That way when he calls in to ask what's wrong, they'll tell him it's a problem on their end and that they're working on it," Big E said.
"And then what?" Elias asked.
"Step 2," Priya said. "We enter Seth's house and hacks his laptop."
"Can you hack it?" Elias asked.

Big E grinned at Elias and clapped his hands.

"Count on me, pretty boy. I got this," Big E said. "Big E rocks! Big E rocks!"
