Trapped in a Mob Surgical Room with 10 Minutes to Escape His Neighbor's Deadly Trap
👉 Previous Decision: You chose to go to the Municipal City Archives to cross-reference Arthur’s property registration titles.
The Municipal City Archives was a sprawling, dusty building, smelling of old paper and forgotten dreams. Leo found the section for commercial real estate, his fingers flying across the microfiche reader, searching for “Pendelton Real Estate Holdings LLC.”
Hours passed. He scrolled through deeds, tax records, and corporate filings. Then, he found it. Pendelton Real Estate Holdings LLC was indeed registered to Arthur’s suburban home address in Media. Not a corporate office, but Arthur’s own house.
The deeper he dug, the more chilling the pattern became. Arthur’s shell company owned not just the warehouse where Leo had been trapped, but three other former medical supply structures across the city. All acquired within weeks of high-profile mob trials, usually after the primary property owners vanished or went bankrupt. The dates lined up perfectly with syndicate “clean-ups” that Detective Brody had mentioned in passing during Clara’s cold case.
Arthur Pendelton wasn’t just his neighbor, or a simple property owner. He was the primary cleanup fixer for the Moretti syndicate, orchestrating the disposal of physical evidence from their illegal operations. The “medical facilities” were mob triage rooms, designed to disappear evidence and inconvenient people.
