Chapter 8 - The Fall of Vance

Vance was caught packing bags of cash and offshore financial documents, preparing to flee the country. Instead, he was thrown to the floor in handcuffs as flashbulbs from news cameras lit up the night sky outside his building.
Brenda Reed was arrested an hour later at her hotel room, charged with conspiracy, child endangerment, and evidence tampering.

As soon as Josie saw Graham enter, she dropped her fork and ran across the floor, throwing her arms around his waist.

"You came back!" she cried.
Graham lifted her up, holding her tightly against his shoulder, kissing her cheek. "I will always come back to you, Josie. Always."
