Chapter 2 - The Police Interrogation of Chloe at the Scene

The wail of county police sirens cut through the quiet suburban afternoon air like a knife.
Two cruisers pulled up onto our manicured lawn, tires crunching loudly over the gravel driveway.
Officer Vance stepped out of the lead vehicle, his hand resting instinctively on his holster as he approached.
My sister Chloe stood on the front steps, her face twisted in an ugly mask of theatrical outrage.
“You need to arrest him! He just assaulted his own sister and shoved our elderly father!” Chloe shrieked.
Officer Vance ignored her screaming, his experienced eyes scanning the scene, the shattered leather strap, and Emily’s tears.
My father tried to step forward, holding his hands up defensively while muttering about our family standing.
“Officer, this is just a private family business dispute over a trust document allocation,” my father lied smoothly.
I stepped past them, holding the crumpled pages of the $12 million trust transfer document in my hand.
