Chapter 9 - Miller Was Protecting Her Career
Sarah interviewed Miller privately.
The general denied ordering anyone to falsify records.
She admitted demanding “clean numbers.”
By that, she claimed she meant correcting deficiencies before
inspection.
Then Sarah played Collins’s recording.
Miller’s face changed.
“He twisted what I said.”
“Did he?”
“Yes.”
Sarah placed Linda’s medical restriction beside the canceled maintenance
order.
“Why was she mopping today?”
Miller looked away.
Finally, she admitted she personally ordered Linda returned to visible
cafeteria duty.
Why?
Because Linda had contacted an outside safety office.
Miller wanted to demonstrate the employee was “functional” and that the
injury had been exaggerated.
Sarah stared at her.
“You used an injured woman as evidence against her own medical
restriction.”
Miller’s voice weakened.
“I was trying to protect this command.”
“No. You were protecting what the command looked like.”
That difference was the center of the entire case.
Miller might not have created every fraud scheme beneath her.

disloyalty.
