Chapter 9 - I Found the Hidden Account—But It Contained a Message Saying I Was Never Supposed to Walk AgainThe account contained more than money.

It contained medical records.

My medical records.

I found the report from the night of my accident.

The official report said spinal damage was caused by impact.

The private report said something else.

My brakes had been tampered with.

My steering column had been damaged.

And someone had injected a sedative into my bloodstream before the crash.

I hadn't been driving recklessly.

I had been attacked.

The final medical note was handwritten.

Subject expected to survive, but mobility may be permanently compromised.

Then another line:

Wheelchair status preferable. Subject less likely to investigate.

I stared at the words.

My entire life had been engineered.

I called Vincent.

"We're going after Richard."

"We need evidence."

"We have it."

"What about Emily?"

"We rescue her first."

We tracked Richard to an abandoned hospital.

Inside, we found Emily.

Alive.

Bound.

But she was smiling.

"You found it."

"Yes."

"Then we're almost done."

Before we could leave, Richard appeared.

He raised his gun.

"You were always going to find the truth."

I looked at him.

"Why?"

"Your father was protecting the network."

"My father is dead."

"Dead men leave instructions."

He revealed that Daniel Caldwell, my father, had built the financial network with three partners.

One was Richard.

One was my uncle Daniel.
