Chapter 10 - The Midnight Raid
Suddenly, bright white floodlights blinded the front windows of the farmhouse.
The loud, piercing wail of police sirens echoed down the quiet country road, illuminating the dark living room in flashing red and blue lights.
Over a bullhorn, a voice boomed across the front yard: "This is the State Police! Step away from the documents and put your hands on your heads!"
The heavy front door of the farmhouse was kicked open, and state troopers flooded into the entryway with flashlights drawn.
Evelyn dropped the stack of papers she was holding, her jaw hanging open in shock as a female trooper immediately grabbed her arms and placed her in steel handcuffs.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Evelyn shrieked, struggling against the officer’s grip. "This is private property! You have no right!"
Standing right behind Senior Investigator Thomas Vance was Nancy. She wore her simple jacket and held a sealed legal entry warrant issued by the county magistrate two hours earlier.
"Nancy! How could you bring the police to your own family's home?!" Evelyn screamed, her voice cracking with rage. "You ungrateful little brat! We took care of you!"
