THE MERCER CONSPIRACY 🍷⚖️ / Chapter 3 / 10

Chapter 3 - The Van by the RiverWhile officers secured Grant and Diane at the restaurant, Agent Vance escorted Charlotte and me into an armored SUV, speeding toward the harbor with sirens roaring.

During the drive, Agent Vance explained the dark reality of what had been happening behind closed doors.

For two years, Grant’s family firm—Mercer Bio-Tech—had been illegally distributing experimental pediatric sedatives. To cover up the illicit trials, Grant had forged Charlotte’s signature and nursing license number on over three hundred falsified clinical logs.

When Charlotte discovered the forged documents in Grant’s home office two days earlier, she threatened to go to the FDA.

In response, Grant and his mother kidnapped six-year-old Noah, using the child as blackmail to force Charlotte into sitting through the dinner and signing an admission of psychiatric instability.

“If you hadn't pushed that flash drive across the table, Mrs. Mercer,” Agent Vance said, looking at Charlotte with immense respect, “we wouldn't have been able to crack the encrypted tracking code in time.”

On the third night after my car accident, I lay perfectly still in a hospital bed, pretending I still hadn’t regained consciousness.
