Chapter 14 - Chad Is Booked At The County Detention Center
Inside the brightly lit booking room of the county jail, Chad stood before the intake desk in an orange jumpsuit.
The detention officer slammed a heavy rubber stamp onto his intake paperwork with an echoing thud.
“As inmate number 48921, you’ve got one phone call before being transferred to the holding block,” the officer stated coldly.
Chad snatched up the heavy wall-mounted telephone receiver with his cuffed hands, dialing a familiar private number.
The phone rang three times before a smooth, cold female voice answered on the other end of the line.
“Vance Global Holdings, how may I direct your call?” the receptionist’s professional voice chirped.
“Put me through to Victoria Vance immediately! It’s Chad! The cops picked me up!” Chad hissed frantically into the mic.
“Hold please, Mr. Chad. Let me check if Ms. Vance is available to take your call,” the automated system replied.
Moments later, the line clicked, and Victoria’s icy, aristocratic tone echoed directly into Chad’s ear.

“You utter fool, Chad. You couldn't even handle a simple eviction without getting arrested by local police,” Victoria scolded.
