The vault door sealed us in, a fortress against the escalating chaos outside. Darren worked swiftly, mirroring the full 35-page notarized grand jury affidavit to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He bypassed county firewalls, sending the incriminating evidence, with Arthur Pendelton’s signed confession, to major news networks simultaneously.
