Chapter 12 - Vanessa Attempts a Desperate Escape Down the Driveway
Just as the second police cruiser pulled up behind the deputies' vehicles, a silver sedan sped down our cul-de-sac.
The car slammed on its brakes right in front of our driveway, tires screeching against the asphalt pavement.
The passenger door flew open, and Vanessa leaped out, running frantically toward our front yard grass.
“Daniel! You have to give me my passport and my jewelry bag out of the guest room!” Vanessa screamed hysterically.
She froze mid-stride as she saw the two uniformed sheriff deputies standing on our front porch with handcuffs ready.
“Vanessa James, you are under arrest for fraud, forgery, and conspiracy against a minor,” the senior deputy announced.
“You can’t arrest me! I didn't sign anything! It was all Marcus’s idea!” she shrieked, backing away toward the street.
The second deputy moved quickly, cutting off her escape route and grabbing her wrists behind her back.
“Save your legal defense for the magistrate, Ms. James; your accomplice is already being picked up downtown,” the deputy said.
