Chapter 9 - The Uniforms
The heavy oak doors swung open, letting in a gust of freezing winter wind that rustled the golden ribbons on the Christmas tree.
Two tall, uniformed officers from the county sheriff's department stepped into the heated marble foyer, their black boots clicking sharply against the polished stone floor. Behind them stood a distinguished woman in a dark charcoal trench coat, carrying a briefcase.
"Good evening, Mr. Vance," the lead officer said, tipping his cap respectfully toward Byron. "We received the emergency injunction order signed by Judge Miller at six o'clock."
"Thank you, Officer Davis," Byron replied smoothly. "The individual named in the eviction order is standing right there."
He pointed a single, unhurried finger directly at Bellamy.
Bellamy stumbled backward, her hand flying to her mouth as she stared at the law enforcement officers standing inside her grand dining room. "Officers! No! This is a mistake! This is a domestic argument! My husband is lying to you!"
The woman in the charcoal coat stepped forward, opening her briefcase and pulling out an official court document stamped with a red wax seal.
