—Detecte Ramírez —le susurré cuando respondió. “Tengo la evidencia que me pidió que preservara”.
His tone immediately sharpened.
“Evelyn, what happened?”
“My husband and his mother just made a very serious mistake.”
Antes del amanecer, aprenderían exactamente qué tan serio.
PART 2: THE TRAP THEY NEVER SAW COMING
Detective Michael Ramirez arrived with another officer at 1:43 a.m.
Still in pajamas, I greeted them in the hallway.
“No toques la maleta,” instruyó Ramírez.
– No lo he hecho.
He examined my expression.
“Good. Show me the recording.”
I passed him my tablet.
Both officers watched silently for three minutes as Margaret concealed the handgun and made her call.
Ramirez exhaled afterward.
“She’s actually planning to send you through airport security with this?”
“Apparently.”
“Why?”
I glanced toward the closed bedroom door.
“Because I’m about to expose what her son did to my father’s company.”
I explained my months-long investigation into suspicious Carter Holdings transfers to consulting firms belonging to Daniel’s associates.
