Chapter 10 - The Corrupt Doctor
With Marcus and Sylvia securely locked away behind bars, I turned my absolute focus to the final, crucial piece of the puzzle: the supposedly licensed physician who had signed the fake incompetency evaluation. Dr. Aris Thorne ran a highly sketchy, cash-only pain management clinic on the deeply impoverished east side of the city.
We raided his messy, disorganized office at dawn, catching him completely off guard. Dozens of boxes of medical files were aggressively seized by federal agents, revealing a highly lucrative, illegal side hustle: writing fake, devastating medical evaluations for predatory guardians in exchange for a hefty cut of the elderly victims’ stolen estates.

When I interrogated him in the sterile federal building, he desperately tried to play dumb. “I see hundreds of elderly patients every month. I make clerical mistakes. I'm overworked.”
“A mistake is a typo on a prescription, Doctor,” I said, smoothly sliding the forged evaluation across the metal table. “Deliberately declaring a highly intelligent woman mentally incompetent to successfully facilitate a three-million-dollar theft is a massive federal felony. Enjoy losing your medical license and your freedom.”
