Chapter 12 - The Federal Raid
From behind the stage curtains, Dr. Evans stepped forward, accompanied by State Attorney General Marcus Vance and four uniformed federal agents.
"Mrs. Vance is telling the exact truth," Dr. Evans announced into an agent's lapel microphone. "I am Dr. Evans, chief of radiology. I performed the ultrasound that confirmed the illegal surgical extraction, and I have provided full sworn testimony to the federal grand jury."
State Attorney General Marcus Vance stepped up to the podium, pulling out a stack of federal arrest warrants.
"Arthur Vance, Julian Sterling, and Chloe Sterling," Attorney General Vance declared sternly. "You are hereby placed under arrest for federal human trafficking, illegal organ harvesting, conspiracy, and wire fraud."
Chloe Sterling screamed in panic, backing away into her father's arms as federal agents stepped onto the stage, clicking heavy steel handcuffs around her wrists.
"No! Dad, do something! I didn't do anything wrong!" Chloe sobbed hysterically as she was restrained.
Julian Sterling attempted to push past an officer, but was slammed onto the podium and handcuffed in front of every major news outlet in the state.
"You ruined us, Arthur!" Julian roared, kicking wildly at Arthur as they were both pinned down. "You told me she would never find out!"
