Chapter 5 – The Handcuffs

Police officers arrived before midnight.

Not because Victor Whitmore ordered them to.

Because the evidence justified a warrant.

Detectives photographed documents recovered from Adrian's study.

Computers were seized.

Financial records collected.

One investigator quietly read through the forged medical evaluations.

Another compared signatures.

Margaret finally spoke.

"There must be some misunderstanding."

The detective looked up.

"Ma'am."

"There are forty-two forged documents."

"I don't think this is a misunderstanding."

An officer approached Adrian.

"Mr. Cross..."

"...please turn around."

Someone else was giving him orders.
