Chapter 12 - Victoria's Desperate Attempt To Escape County Custody
While Daniel and Martha reviewed the legal files in the study, local police were transporting Victoria to the county holding facility.
The patrol car cruised along the wet asphalt of Route 9, its tires kicking up a fine spray of rain against the vehicle's side panels.
Victoria sat in the back metal cage of the cruiser, her mind racing with frantic schemes to salvage her million-dollar payout from Marcus.
She slid her handcuffed wrists downward, utilizing a hidden paperclip she had concealed inside her designer jacket collar.
With a quiet click, the handcuffs sprang open, surprising the deputy driving the vehicle through the heavy afternoon traffic.
Before the officer could react, Victoria lunged forward through the security screen, slamming her elbow against his shoulder.
The patrol car swerved sharply across two lanes of traffic, nearly colliding with a heavy freight truck before crashing into a guardrail.
Victoria kicked the side door open, scrambling out into the pouring rain and fleeing toward the dense pine woods along the highway.
