Chapter 10 - Interrogating the Corrupt Funeral Director Behind the Plot
Inside the county interrogation room under harsh fluorescent lights, funeral director Mr. Gable squirmed nervously in his chair.
Agent Victoria Vance tossed a bank deposit slip onto the metal table, sliding it right across toward his shaking hands.
“Fifty thousand dollars wired from Richard Parker’s offshore account into your personal savings yesterday morning,” Agent Vance noted flatly.
“Care to explain why a licensed funeral director installed an oxygen-sealed false bottom in a standard casket?”
Mr. Gable swallowed hard, sweat beading heavily along his forehead as he realized he had been completely abandoned by Richard.
“He... he told me she was mentally unstable and needed to be institutionalized quietly abroad,” Gable stammered pathetically.
“He said the burial was just a symbolic ceremony to protect his family’s social standing in the county.”

Agent Vance leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table with an intimidating, unblinking stare.
“That is called accessory to kidnapping and attempted murder, Mr. Gable. Unless you start naming every accomplice.”
