Chapter 8 - The Little Girl Identifies The Cold-Blooded Attacker
Inside the sunlit conservatory of the villa, little Maya sat across a polished mahogany table from two federal investigators. Her mother held her hand gently while a sketch artist and a stenographer recorded her official witness statement.
“Can you tell us in your own words, Maya, what you saw the lady in the yellow dress do?” Agent Miller asked kindly. Maya nodded solemnly, holding her favorite stuffed rabbit tightly against her chest for comfort.
“She looked really angry, and then she pushed Aunt Clara really hard with both hands into the big pool,” Maya explained. “Did the lady say anything right before she pushed her?” the stenographer asked, pen poised over the paper.

“She said something about nobody stealing her spotlight or her money,” Maya answered with innocent, devastating precision. Agent Miller recorded every word, knowing this testimony would completely obliterate any defense attorney’s arguments.
Clara smiled down at her brave little niece, pressing a grateful kiss to the top of the child's head. “You were so brave today, Maya; you helped keep our family safe,” Clara whispered with profound appreciation.
