The truth was that I had not resigned from Vance Development because the pressure was too much.

I had resigned because of what I had found in the numbers.

As the person who prepared the financial reports, the quiet one no one paid attention to, I had access to everything, and I noticed things.

Suspicious transfers.

Invoices for work that had never been done.

And, threaded carefully through it all, several hidden companies that traced back, when you followed them far enough, directly to my brother, Caleb.

I will not detail the machinery of what my brother was doing, because a manual for corporate fraud is not a thing worth writing down, and I gathered the shape of it more than I ever wanted to.
