Chapter 11 - The Secret Lens
The room froze in an intense, deadly stand-off.
Federal Agent Harris held his weapon locked on officers.
Local officers kept their hands on their belt holsters.
Attorney Arthur Vance's arrogant smirk faded slightly at edges.
"Agent Harris, you are interfering with a state court order!"
Arthur Vance shouted out, pointing at paper document.
"You will lose your federal badge by morning light!"
I reached under my pillow, pulling out my smart phone.
My fingers unlocked the encrypted screen with thumb print.
"You said there were no cameras in my kitchen, Arthur?"
I asked, my voice ringing out clear and steady.
Arthur Vance narrowed his eyes at my mobile phone screen.
"What are you talking about, girl?" Arthur spat.
"Last month, I noticed my tea tasted slightly metallic."
I explained, letting every word cut deep into room.
"I installed a hidden nanny camera inside the smoke detector."
"A camera that streams continuously to an encrypted cloud."
I tapped the screen, opening the video playback application.
I turned the phone screen toward Arthur Vance and officers.
The high-definition video feed displayed yesterday morning's date.
On screen, Michael stood in our sunlit home kitchen.
He pulled a small glass dropper bottle from pocket.
He carefully dripped ten drops of clear liquid inside.
He stirred my herbal tea cup with a spoon.
Then he brought the poisoned cup to my bedroom.
The audio recorded his phone call with David clearly:
"She is drinking the Scopolamine now, Dad," Michael said.
"By tomorrow at ER, she will be completely mindless."
"Doctor Vance will execute the C-section without resistance."
"The ten million trust fund will be ours by midnight."
The clear audio echoed across the silent hospital room.
The local police officers' faces turned an ashen gray.
They looked at each other in sheer, horrified realization.
They realized they were helping cover up a murder plot.
They immediately stepped three steps away from Arthur Vance.
"We were not informed about this video, Attorney," officer.
"We are withdrawing from this transport order right now."
Arthur Vance stood frozen, his mouth hanging wide open.
His legal injunction was completely useless against video proof.
He was holding a document built on proven criminal poisoning.
Agent Harris smiled coldly, stepping closer to corrupt lawyer.
