Chapter 13 - Victoria Tries To Escape Through The Service Doors
Inside the county holding facility across town, Victoria’s high-priced defense attorney arrived to review the case file.
“The video evidence is airtight, Victoria; the federal prosecutor is pushing for twenty years without parole,” the lawyer stated.
“There has to be a loophole! My father-in-law left a secret trust clause we can exploit!” Victoria demanded frantically.
“Your father-in-law’s true will was recovered from the library vault tonight naming Lily as sole beneficiary,” the lawyer corrected.
Realizing her legal options were completely exhausted, Victoria waited until her counsel stepped out of the booth.
When the booking guard briefly turned his back to process paperwork, Victoria bolted toward the industrial service exit.
She shoved open the heavy metal emergency door, sprinting out into the wet alleyway under the glare of streetlamps.
Before she could take three steps into the dark night, two tactical officers tackled her securely onto the wet asphalt.
“Inmate attempting to flee! Restraints locked!” an officer shouted, pinning her arms behind her back with heavy zip-ties.
