Chapter 7 - THE TARMAC SHOWDOWN
The rain was pouring down on the private airstrip. A luxury medical jet was idling on the runway. Paramedics were wheeling a specialized gurney toward the cargo ramp. Liam lay unconscious on the stretcher, hooked up to an oxygen tank.
Eleanor stood under a black umbrella, watching her problem disappear.

Detective Marcus Reyes stepped out, his badge raised. Behind him, Clara emerged into the pouring rain, holding the legal documents high.
"Stop loading the patient!" Marcus shouted over the roar of the engines.
Eleanor’s face twisted in rage. "Arrest her! She is violating a court order!"

Eleanor lunged forward, but Marcus grabbed her wrists, slapping cold steel handcuffs onto them. "Eleanor Wright, you are under arrest for conspiracy to commit murder, wire fraud, and the attempted homicide of your own son."
