Chapter 13 - Confronting Paige At The Cafe
Before leaving Houston, David received a call from Paige’s public defender asking if he would consider a minor settlement meeting.
David agreed, meeting Paige at a quiet cafe near the courthouse while federal investigators observed from a nearby table.
Paige looked exhausted, her designer clothes wrinkled and her arrogant demeanor completely shattered into pieces.
“David... please... don't let them send me to prison. I’m your sister,” Paige whimpered, tears streaming down her face.
“You weren't acting like my sister when you watched our mother starve and abuse my wife,” David replied without a hint of pity.
“We thought you were never coming back from deployment! We thought we could get away with it!” Paige blurted out hysterically.

“That’s the oldest excuse in the book, Paige. And now you get to face the consequences in a federal courtroom,” David stated.
He stood up, leaving her sobbing alone at the table as he walked out into the warm Texas sunshine.
