Agent Miller: We've got his personal files from his office, Boss. The paper trail goes back four years.
Clara: Excellent work, Miller. Secure the video footage from the building manager before you leave.
Agent Miller: Already done. The state prosecutor is already drafting the charges.
Clara knelt back down on the checkered floor, taking off her latex gloves and throwing them into a trash container.
Clara: Hey sweetie, are you okay?
Maya: My knee still stings a little bit...
Clara: Let's get you cleaned up. I have ice packs in the car.
The event manager hurried over, his face pale with embarrassment and anxiety.
Event Manager: Agent, I am so deeply sorry for this horrific incident! If we had known Mr. Vance was capable of such behavior—
Clara: Save it. Your security team almost arrested an injured child without checking a single camera.
Event Manager: We will be conducting an immediate internal review of our protocols, I assure you!
Clara: You do that. Because if my department finds out you helped him cover up previous incidents, you'll be joining him in court.
Event Manager: No, ma'am! We had no idea! We will cooperate fully with your investigation!
Clara lifted Maya into her arms, holding her close as the little girl rested her head on Clara's shoulder.
Maya: Did we catch the bad guy, Mommy?
Clara: We sure did, sweetie. He's never going to hurt anyone ever again.
Maya: Can we go get ice cream now?
Clara: Double scoops. Whatever flavor you want.
The remaining guests applauded as Clara walked toward the exit, holding her daughter securely in her arms.
The bright lights of police cars flashed through the grand glass doors outside, casting red and blue patterns across the marble foyer.
Victor was forced into the back seat of a black sedan, his expensive tuxedo wrinkled and ruined as the door slammed shut on him forever.
Clara walked out into the cool evening air, stepping past the news vans that were already arriving at the scene.
Reporter 1: Agent! Is it true Victor Vance was arrested for fraud?!
Reporter 2: What happened to the medical trial samples?!
Clara: Official statement will be released by the Medical Fraud Division tomorrow morning. Have a good night, everyone.
