Chapter 7 - The Arrest
Intense red and blue emergency lights violently illuminated the thick, falling snow, completely blinding the toxic stepmother and the arrogant stepbrother.
Claire hadn't just recorded a confession; she had actively, flawlessly orchestrated the exact time and place of their absolute public destruction. She had federal agents waiting exactly two blocks away, completely ready to move in the exact second she secured the audio evidence.
Three massive, heavily armed federal vehicles aggressively skidded to a halt in the snowy driveway, entirely blocking Darren's luxury sports cars.
"No! No, please!" Gloria wailed hysterically, completely abandoning her sophisticated high-society persona. She looked like a pathetic, cornered animal.
Six heavily armed federal agents marched directly through the thick snow, completely bypassing Claire's car and walking straight up to the terrified, weeping criminals on the porch.
"Gloria Vance! Darren Vance!" the lead agent barked loudly, aggressively grabbing the screaming stepmother by the arm with bone-crushing force.
"Get your filthy hands off me!" Gloria shrieked, her expensive green fur-lined coat tangling as she desperately tried to fight the massive officers. "She manipulated me! The recording is illegal!"
"It's a one-party consent state, ma'am," the agent replied coldly, violently snapping heavy steel handcuffs around her wrists.
Darren screamed in total, undeniable disgrace as two other agents forcefully dragged him off the porch. He was completely stripped of his arrogant pride and his stolen wealth, completely exposed to the vicious, shocking reality of federal prison.
