Chapter 14 - Bianca Is Handcuffed And Dragged Away
Back at the Westchester county holding facility, Bianca sat in a sterile processing cell wearing standard orange inmate scrubs.
Her high-end designer wardrobe had been replaced by coarse cotton, and her makeup-free face looked pale and exhausted.
A prison guard unlocked the heavy steel door, tossing a set of court summons papers onto the stainless-steel table.
“Your arraignment hearing is scheduled for nine o'clock tomorrow morning in federal court downtown,” the guard stated flatly.
Bianca refused to touch the papers, staring blankly at the concrete block wall with an expression of utter disbelief.
“Do you know who my family is? My uncle sits on the state appellate court; you can't keep me in here!” she shrieked.
“Your uncle recused himself an hour ago once the federal wire fraud charges hit the public news networks,” the guard replied coldly.
He slammed the heavy steel door shut, leaving her alone in the dark, echoing cell to contemplate her ruined future.
