Chapter 9 - THE SECRET IN THE HOSPITAL RECORDS

The investigation into my father's shooting expanded.
Investigators discovered suspicious financial transfers connected to Vincent Caruso.
Several payments had been routed through companies associated with Nico's private investments.
The records didn't prove Nico ordered the shooting.
But they raised serious questions about what he knew.
Then investigators uncovered something else.
A payment made shortly after the attack.
Ten thousand dollars.
The same amount as Nico's bet.
I stared at the documents.
My stomach twisted.
Leo looked at me.
“We don't know what it means yet.”
I nodded.
But I couldn't stop thinking about the number.
Ten thousand dollars.
