Chapter 6 - The Arrest on the Fiftieth FloorThe security guards stepped forward, but Detective Marcus Vance held up his badge and a signed federal warrant.
“Stand down!” Detective Vance commanded, his voice echoing loudly through the silent boardroom. “Municipal Police and State Homicide Division!”
The entire room erupted into horrified gasps! Reporters raised their cameras, capturing every single second!
I walked up to the head of the table, stopping three feet away from Daniel and Vanessa, holding up the clear plastic evidence bag containing the antique silver scissors.
“Vanessa,” I said, my voice calm, clear, and ringing with absolute authority. “You told me no man would want me after you cut my hair. You forgot one thing: scissors carry more than hair. They carry DNA.”
Vanessa’s face emptied of every drop of color. She backed away against the glass window, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
“Vanessa Vale,” Detective Vance declared, pulling out heavy steel handcuffs. “You are under arrest for the first-degree murder of Adrian Carter, felony evidence tampering, and grand financial fraud.”

“No! This is a mistake! Daniel, do something!” Vanessa shrieked, thrashing frantically as officers grabbed her arms!
“And Daniel Mercer,” Detective Vance added, snapping a second set of handcuffs around Daniel’s wrists. “You are under arrest for accessory to murder after the fact, corporate money laundering, and grand larceny.”
