Chapter 7 - The Arrest
Four heavily armed federal agents marched directly through the open front door.
They completely bypassed the weeping parents on the floor and walked straight up to the terrified golden child.
"Mark Vance," the lead federal agent barked loudly, grabbing the screaming brother by the arm with bone-crushing force. "You are under arrest for massive wire fraud, identity theft, and criminal forgery."
"Mom! Dad! Help me!" Mark shrieked hysterically, completely abandoning his arrogant, entitled persona. He cried like a little child, desperately trying to fight the massive officers.
"Get your filthy hands off my son!" his mother wailed wildly, lunging toward the federal agents.
"Ma'am, step back immediately or you will be arrested for obstruction," the officer commanded coldly, forcefully hauling Mark toward the front door.
His father stood completely paralyzed against the oak wall, utterly powerless to stop the federal agents. He had sacrificed his older son's entire future to protect Mark, and now, his golden child was going to a maximum-security prison, and his own pension was completely destroyed.
Mark was forcefully dragged out the front door and shoved brutally into the back of a freezing police cruiser, his arrogant, free-loading life permanently erased in a single morning.
The chaotic, toxic energy was entirely dragged out of the house, plunging the pristine living room back into a profound, heavy peace.
