Chapter 13 - Kelsey Panics as Service Begins to Fracture
While my father sat sweating under interrogation lights, county deputies arrived at the family home to speak with Kelsey.
My twenty-three-year-old sister answered the door in her signature pink sweatpants, holding an iced coffee cup.
When the deputies informed her of her father’s arrest and the forensic lab results, her composure shattered instantly.
“Dad said the military would just believe them because Erin has deployment papers!” Kelsey shrieked defensively.
“Well, Dad was wrong, and now you’re looking at accessory to perjury and obstruction of justice charges,” the deputy replied.
Kelsey began crying hysterically, demanding to call her lawyer while slamming the front door in their faces.
The deputies kicked the door open, placing her under arrest and cuffing her wrists behind her back on the spot.
My mother, watching in absolute horror from the living room sofa, suffered a sudden panic attack and required an ambulance.
The fortress of lies they had built around their golden-child dynamic collapsed in less than an hour.
