As the officers approached me—
A new voice stopped them.
"Wait."
Everyone turned.
It was Daniel's business partner, Victor.
"I think you should see something first," he said calmly.
Daniel's eyes widened.
First real panic.
Victor held up a tablet.
"Security footage."
Daniel quickly stepped forward.
"That's not necessary."
Too late.
Victor played the video on the TV.
The room went silent.
Because the footage showed something
shocking.
Daniel.
Inside the bank.
Using my signature stamp.
Forging documents.
My knees nearly gave out.
The crowd erupted again.
Daniel's face went pale.
For the first time that night…
His mask completely broke.
But the biggest shock wasn't the video.
It was what Daniel said next.
Because he suddenly started laughing.
