Chapter 8 - Federal Authorities And Child Services Are Summoned Quickly
Before Vanessa could lunge toward him, the heavy iron front doors swung open to reveal two federal agents and a social worker.
Special Agent Vance stepped into the foyer, flanked by Westchester County child protective services officer Miller.
“Mr. Adrian Vance? We received an automated security alert from the encrypted cloud backup regarding severe child endangerment,” Agent Vance stated.
“You’re right on time, Agent. The suspect is standing right there,” Adrian replied, nodding toward the defeated woman.
Officer Miller immediately approached Lily and Noah in the study, conducting a swift, professional welfare and medical assessment.
“The children show clear signs of psychological trauma and physical confinement. We need to document these injuries immediately,” Miller advised.

“Ms. Vanessa Hale, you are being detained for federal child endangerment and felony domestic abuse,” Agent Vance announced crisply.
