Chapter 3 - Daniel Stares In Shock At His Own Foundation Sign
Daniel was still sitting in the hospital hallway chair when his phone buzzed with an incoming secure notification.
It was an email from Detective Brooks containing a single PDF attachment and a short, urgent message.
“You need to see this right now, Mr. Whitmore.”
Daniel opened the document, his eyes scanning the corporate letterhead and property assignment deeds.
Right there in bold black ink was the name of his own charity organization, the Whitmore Foundation.
The building where Lily had been held captive for years was listed as a community outreach center funded by his signature.
Daniel stood up so fast his plastic coffee cup tipped over, spilling dark liquid across the pristine hospital linoleum.
He had signed off on the funding allocation three years ago without ever visiting the rural Ohio site in person.
