I didn’t answer her, because there are some pains that simply do not deserve an immediate response. With the new evidence, the entire case exploded into the public eye.
Frank was formally arrested and charged, while Victor managed to disappear before the police could apprehend him. Roger was taken into custody that same night.
Many local officials began denying that they even knew my father in law, even though photos of them together were all over social media. Brian was placed under an intensive investigation.
He wasn’t arrested immediately because Frank claimed that his son knew absolutely nothing about the illegal activities. It was a blatant lie, but a calculated one, a father trying to save his son after he had already ruined him.
Days later, Brian called me from an unknown number. “I need to see you one last time,” he said.
“I don’t need to see you,” I replied flatly.
“Daniela, please, just once,” he begged.
“No,” I said firmly.
“Victor escaped custody, and he is out for blood,” he warned.
“He called me, and he says that if he gets caught, he is going to spill the beans on everyone,” Brian said, his voice shaking. “He has another hard drive with more videos of the other women.”
I put the call on speakerphone so that Agent Henderson could hear the conversation. “Where are you, Brian?” the agent asked.
