Chapter 4 - Uncovering The Shady Mobile Notary Who Forged My Signature
Rachel made a quick phone call to her private investigator contact to look into Brenda Higgins's recent activities. Within twenty minutes, a detailed dossier containing public registry logs and surveillance notes arrived via secure email.
"Look at this timestamp," Rachel said, spinning her laptop screen around so I could read the investigator's notes. "Brenda Higgins logged a mobile notary visit at Daniel’s corporate office building exactly three weeks ago."
That was the exact afternoon Daniel had invited me to his office for a supposed celebratory lunch promotion. When I arrived, he claimed his meeting ran late and left me sitting in the lobby for over forty minutes.
While I sat drinking lukewarm coffee in the reception area, Daniel was inside a conference room executing forgery fraud. He had brought in a crooked notary to witness a fake signature on paperwork pretending to be employee benefits documentation.
"He used my presence at his office as a convenient alibi to validate the fraudulent timeline," I realized aloud. Rachel nodded approvingly, printing out the investigator's summary report and slipping it into a heavy manila folder.

"That establishes premeditation and active conspiracy between Daniel, Vanessa, and the corrupt notary," Rachel stated. "We have enough concrete evidence to sink their entire fraudulent scheme before they even post a moving truck."
A grim smile touched the corners of my mouth as I visualized the trap snapping shut around my son. "Let's make sure they don't have a single escape hatch left open," I instructed quietly.
