I pulled out my phone and played the audio recording of Ryan and the corrupt sheriff conspiring.
The bank manager's smug face dropped in sheer terror as he heard the undeniable evidence of fraud.
Marcus flashed his state detective badge and ordered the manager to freeze the offshore routing account.
The manager hesitated, his hands trembling as he hovered over his computer keyboard.

She laughed cruelly and told Ryan he was the most gullible, pathetic idiot she had ever met.
Marcus slowly moved his hand toward his holstered service weapon, calculating his odds.
