Chapter 6 - Arrest at the Doorstep
Within ten minutes of Elena Cruz's phone call, two local police cruisers and a military police escort pulled up along the quiet suburban driveway, their red and blue lights flashing against the pristine lawn.
Two police officers stepped up to the open front door, flanked by a naval legal representative who had been alerted by Sarah earlier that morning.
"Audrey Vance?" the lead police officer asked, pulling out a set of heavy steel handcuffs. "You are under arrest for felony filing of a false police report, forgery, and attempted grand larceny of a minor's trust estate."
Audrey backed away into the hallway wall, her hands shaking hysterically as she looked at her elderly parents for help.
"Mom! Dad! Tell them to stop!" Audrey wept, her former arrogance completely destroyed. "Sarah is my sister! She can't do this to her own family!"
Their mother stepped forward, her eyes filled with deep shame and tears, but she looked at Audrey with cold disappointment.
"You tried to take a fatherless boy away from his mother for money, Audrey," her mother said, her voice trembling with heartbreak. "You brought this upon yourself."
The police officers grabbed Audrey’s arms, forcing them behind her back and clicking the steel cuffs shut around her wrists.
