Chapter 12 - Confronting the Corrupt Pediatric Surgeon in Secret
By midday, an unmarked black van pulled into the service alley behind St. Jude’s Memorial Clinic.
Lucas stepped out of the vehicle, wearing a dark trench coat and sunglasses to avoid recognition by hospital staff.
He bypassed the main reception desk, heading straight down the private stairwell toward the basement medical archives.
Dr. Marcus Vance—the same corrupt surgeon who had signed Elena’s fake death certificate—sat at his desk.
The door creaked open, and Dr. Vance looked up, his face draining of all color as Lucas stepped inside.
“Mr... Mr. Kincaid, you shouldn't be down here in the restricted archives without an appointment,” Vance stammered.
Lucas closed the door behind him, locking the heavy latch with a metallic click that echoed in the small room.
“Save the pleasantries, Doctor; I want the original files on Elena Keane and my daughter’s tracking chip removal,” Lucas demanded.
Dr. Vance tried to reach for the panic button mounted beneath his desk drawers.

Lucas moved faster, slamming his hand down onto the desk and pinning the doctor’s wrist firmly in place.
