Chapter 9 - The Federal Guillotine

"Vincent Carter and Sophia Vance," the lead federal agent barked loudly, resting his hand firmly on his utility belt. "You are under arrest for grand larceny, massive insurance fraud, and criminal conspiracy."
Sophia let out an apocalyptic shriek of pure terror. "No! It was all his idea! I didn't fake the crash!"
