Chapter 3 - The Midnight Investigation
Sitting in the darkened security control office, Garrett zoomed in on the surveillance footage from angle four.
The cameras had been installed three years ago by Garrett’s late father. They were hidden behind microscopic pinhole lenses built into the intricate wood carvings of the dining room walls.
Not even Madison knew they existed.
Garrett watched the screen in horrifying detail. He saw Madison leaning over his frail mother, digging her manicured fingernails into the old woman’s frail arm. He saw Maya stepping in courageously, placing her own arm over Margaret’s shoulder to shield her.
Garrett saw Madison’s calculated face right before she deliberately threw herself backward onto the marble floor, shattering the glass to frame Maya.
Tears of pure rage glinted in Garrett’s ice-blue eyes. His fists clenched so tightly on the desk that his knuckles turned stark white.
He realized that for six months, the woman he trusted had been tormenting his mother in her own home. And the brave waitress he had sent away earlier had been the only person standing between his mother and a monster.
