Chapter 12 - The SirensThe first police vehicles arrived.
Then federal agents.
Then financial investigators.
The ballroom doors opened.
Everyone turned.
Richard tried to leave through a side entrance.
Two agents blocked him.
"Richard Vance?"
He said nothing.
"You're under investigation."
"For what?"
The agent looked toward the screen.
"For enough crimes to keep you answering questions for the rest of your life."
Richard looked at Evelyn.
"You did this."
She didn't deny it.
He whispered:
"I'll destroy you."
Evelyn stepped closer.
"You already tried."
She held Lily's hand.
"And you failed."
Richard was escorted away.
