Chapter 9 - Local Police Arrive But They Answer To Evan
Sirens wailed in the distance as three municipal police cruisers raced up the long, winding driveway of the estate.
The gates parted automatically, allowing the vehicles to park directly in front of the grand marble terrace stairs.
Chief of Police Marcus Vance stepped out of the lead cruiser, adjusting his cap as he surveyed the locked-down crowd.
“Mr. Whitaker, dispatch received an anonymous priority alert regarding domestic endangerment and hostage conditions,” Chief Vance reported.
“There are no hostages here, Marcus, just a collection of corrupt donors and a confessed child abuser,” Evan replied evenly.
He handed Chief Vance a encrypted flash drive containing the eleven days of video and audio surveillance footage.
“Take Vanessa Vale into custody immediately on charges of felony child abuse, extortion, and obstruction of justice,” Evan ordered.

Chief Vance nodded grimly, motioning for his officers to approach the trembling woman held by the syndicate enforcers.
“You can’t arrest me! My family funds half the police pension fund in this county!” Vanessa shrieked as cuffs clicked on.
