LOGISTICS HEIRESS AND SON ARRESTED AFTER PREGNANT WOMAN FOUND ALIVE INSIDE COFFIN.
Liam ignored the reporters outside the hospital.
His phone rang.
Unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Liam?"
The voice was older.
But familiar.
"Who is this?"
"Marcus."
Liam stood.
"Uncle Marcus?"
His father's younger brother had disappeared from the family years ago.
Marcus spoke quickly.
"I saw the news."
"Where are you?"
"On my way to your city."
"Why?"
"Because your father called me two weeks before he died."
Liam's pulse quickened.
"What did he say?"
"He told me he was afraid of Evelyn and Nathan."
Marcus paused.
"He also told me about a safety deposit box."
"Where?"
"First National Bank."
Liam closed his eyes.
"What is inside?"
"Proof."
"Proof of what?"
"Everything."
Marcus's voice became grim.
"And Liam?"
"Yes?"
"Don't trust the local police."
Liam looked through the hospital window.
