Chapter 9 - The Trap Springs

Before Samantha could process his change in tone, the door to the private room burst open.
Four uniformed police officers flooded into the room, followed by the lead detective.
“Sandra Jenkins, you are under arrest for extortion, blackmail, and felony child abuse,” the detective announced.
Samantha’s jaw dropped in absolute horror.
“Sandra? Who is Sandra?” Rachel shrieked, looking confused.
“You set me up!” Samantha screamed, lunging at David across the table.
An officer swiftly grabbed her arms, spinning her around and slapping heavy steel handcuffs on her wrists.
“You have the right to remain silent,” the officer read, as Samantha kicked and thrashed.
Rachel tried to sneak out the door, but a detective blocked her path.
“Rachel Vance, you are also under arrest for conspiracy to commit extortion,” he said, cuffing her as well.
David stood up, straightening his suit jacket calmly.
He walked over to Samantha, who was now sobbing hysterically as the reality of prison set in.
“You tried to break my children,” David whispered into her ear.
“Instead, I broke you.”
