Chapter 12 - Local Police And Federal Marshals Arrive At Pinecrest
The wailing sirens of multiple emergency vehicles echoed through the surrounding pine forest, growing louder as they approached the grounds.
Mason escorted Emma and Tyler back up the spiral staircase into the main lobby, where two local police officers were waiting.
Beside them stood Agent Arthur Vance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, carrying a thick leather briefcase stamped with official seals.
“Mason Reed? I am Agent Vance. We received an emergency federal whistle-blower notification regarding Dr. Adrian Bennett twenty minutes ago.”
Laura and Adrian were standing near the front desk, flanked by two armed police officers who were reviewing their identification cards.
“Agent Vance! This man broke down our private gates with his truck! He is kidnapping my patient!” Adrian yelled frantically from the corner.
Agent Vance pulled a certified federal arrest warrant from his briefcase, stepping directly past Mason toward the panicked surgeon.

“Dr. Adrian Bennett, you are under federal arrest for medical fraud, grand larceny, and illegal interstate confinement,” Agent Vance announced.
Laura shrieked hysterically as heavy steel handcuffs clicked around Adrian’s wrists, his high-society status evaporating in an instant.
