Chapter 6 - Summoning The Boston Police Department To Hospital
Mark pulled his phone out immediately, dialing the direct line for Detective Miller, an old college friend working at the Boston Police Precinct.
Within fifteen minutes, Detective Miller arrived at the hospital, dressed in a damp trench coat and holding a leather notebook.
Mark led the detective into a quiet family waiting room, handing over his phone along with the video backups from the smoke detector.
Miller watched the hidden camera footage in utter silence, his jaw tightening as he observed the abuse and the financial fraud unfold.
"This isn't just a domestic assault case anymore, Mark," Detective Miller said grimly, closing his notebook with a heavy thud.
"That chemical compound, Sedatol-4, is a controlled substance restricted strictly to specialized biological research labs," Miller added.
"Vanessa works as a senior marketing director for BioVance Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge," Mark realized, his mind racing with connected clues.
"She was stealing the chemical directly from her company's research vault to keep Lily quiet while she drained your accounts," Miller concluded.
The detective immediately picked up his radio, ordering two patrol units to secure Mark's suburban mansion and place Vanessa under arrest.
