Chapter 5 - The Financial Motive
Terrence kept his weapon drawn while the legitimate doctors finally stabilized Delilah.
He locked the door to the trauma room, barricading himself and the two girls inside.
He used his police radio to contact a trusted friend at the precinct, bypassing his corrupt captain.
He asked his friend to run a deep background check on the Sinclair family finances.
The results came back within minutes, painting a horrifying picture of greed and murder.
The girls' late mother was an heiress to a massive pharmaceutical fortune.
Her will stipulated that the money belonged in a trust for the twins until they turned eighteen.
However, a dark loophole stated that if both children died of natural medical complications, the father inherited everything.
Terrence realized Dr Sinclair was poisoning his own daughters to steal a massive empire.
He looked at Charlotte, who was bravely holding her unconscious sister's hand.
The police radio crackled again, delivering even more disturbing news.
His friend had pulled the late mother's autopsy report from the county archives.
The official cause of death was listed as a rare, untraceable cardiac event.
The medical examiner who signed the fraudulent death certificate was Dr Douglas Sinclair.
Terrence realized he was trapped in a hospital controlled by a serial killer.
