My Stepfather Sent Me To Patrol A Forest Sector With Standalone Wooden Stairs, Then Erased My Coordinates From The Dispatch Server
Appraiser Coyle dropped his clipboard. It clattered against the shed floor. He shook violently, his eyes darting around the room as Jonah calmly laid out the financial paper trail connecting him to Arthur’s indemnity schemes. The ledger entries were damning.
Desperate to protect himself from federal prosecution, Coyle fumbled with his briefcase. He pulled out an original 1978 topographical survey map. The paper was yellowed and brittle. It showed that the wooden staircase in Sector 4 was formally documented by federal geologists forty-six years ago. Long before Arthur had ever joined the forestry service.
“Please,” Coyle stammered, his voice hoarse. “Just let me walk away. I’ll give you the key to Arthur’s private administrative safe.” He held up a small, ornate key. “Just… destroy page forty-two. Please.”
