This is Tom. I haven’t seen Verity in weeks. I’m on Verity’s computer, in her flat. Everything’s a mess. What else is new? I was trying to say I was sorry for everything with Jenna with this painting. I thought it would make a nice poster for her project. Very Hollywood. We've got the poster artwork before we've got the ending.

I didn’t know she was blogging about any of this. If any of you out there know what happened, please tell me. All I know is, nearly two weeks ago, Verity went for a meeting at the university. I know you know about my camera in Stu’s office. This is what it saw.

I spoke to the university. According to them, Verity has decided to drop out and re-take her final year sometime in the future. No one’s got hold of Stu either as he’s been cancelling all his tutorials due to ‘personal problems’. I spoke to Verity’s dad – he says she’s gone away travelling. Taking some time out to consider some offer she’d been made. I know Verity and me were having a few issues because...well, she’s already kindly told you why. But I don’t believe she’d leave without telling me.

All the graffiti round town has slowly been removed. As far as I know, the only one left is still on Verity’s door. When I came in, her neighbours tried to make me clean it off – none of them are going to, after all. I still don’t know if it was a random graffiti or if it was meant specifically for Verity. There’s been no sign of Nigel either. Little by little, anything Verity was making her film about has vanished. Verity included. I gave the Police one more go. Why did I bother? Our friend, Sgt. Hammond, seemed concerned when I told him Verity had gone. But then his boss came in, said that Stu had been in a few days ago, asking about Verity and what she’d been saying. But if Verity’s own dad doesn’t think anything’s wrong, why should the Police believe me that she’s missing?

I think maybe they know it was me who did the graffiti on the Police station. But now that’s gone too.
