Chapter 3 - Dr. Miller Intervenes Before Vance Can See Clara
Before Vance could draw his service weapon or call for backup, Dr. Miller lunged forward between the agent and the gurney.
“Stand back, Vance! She is under my medical jurisdiction until the county coroner signs off on the official registry!” Miller shouted.
Vance’s gaze darted from the living woman on the table back to the frantic physician shielding her body.
“She was listed on the federal missing persons and deceased manifest issued by Washington at midnight,” Vance stated.
“If she’s breathing, Doctor, that means someone high up in the Department of Justice lied on official execution documents.”
Clara reached up with a trembling hand, grabbing Dr. Miller’s lab coat to pull him closer down to her level.
“Don't trust him... Vance is part of the detail that put me in this room,” Clara whispered frantically.
Dr. Miller’s eyes widened in sheer horror as he realized the deadly danger they had both walked into.
Vance slowly unclipped his radio transmitter from his lapel, his thumb pressing down on the encrypted transmission button.
