Chapter 14 - THE INTERROGATION OF ELENA
Down at the federal holding facility in downtown Chicago, Agent Miller interrogated a furious Elena Vance.
Elena sat at the metal table in her rumpled crimson gown, her hair in the elegant updo now coming completely undone.
"This is a complete frame-job! My husband is a paranoid criminal who abused me for years!" Elena shrieked across the table.
Agent Miller slammed a printed copy of the offshore bank transfer and neurotoxin lab results onto the steel surface.
"That's funny, Mrs. Vance, because the lab results match your personal DNA profile found on the bottle stoppers," Miller countered.
Elena's face fell, her defiant expression crumbling as she realized the ironclad trap closing around her.
"Marcus... Marcus did this to me! He wanted a divorce and tried to pin his own illness on me!" she lied desperately.
"Your husband is currently cooperating with federal investigators to dismantle your entire co-conspirator network," Miller stated.
"What co-conspirator network?" Elena stammered, her voice pitching up in panic.

"We traced your offshore transfers to a man named Arthur Sterling in New York," Miller smiled coldly. "Your game is over, Elena."
