The flashing red and blue lights illuminated the wet diner counter through the glass.
Two patrol cars pulled up directly outside the main glass entrance.
Arthur realized his control over the situation was slipping away very quickly.
He motioned for the secondary guard to step toward the rear exit door.
Vincent: Stand right where you are!
Arthur: You are destroying your own future for a woman who left you behind.
Vincent: She did not leave me behind willingly, and you know it.
Clara: She wrote you letters every single year, Vincent!
Vincent turned his head back toward Clara with total shock in his eyes.
Vincent: What did you just say?
Clara: She sent letters to the house every Christmas through a private law firm.
Clara: Your father and Arthur intercepted every single envelope before you saw them.
Tears welled up in Vincent's eyes as the full emotional weight hit him.
He had spent his whole life feeling abandoned by the woman who bore him.
In truth, she had been fighting from afar to reach him all along.
The diner doors burst open as uniformed police officers stepped inside the room.
Police Officer: Nobody move! Hands where we can see them!
Vincent kept his firm gaze locked directly on Arthur's tense face.
Vincent: Officer, this man has been involved in a thirty-year corporate conspiracy.
Arthur: He is emotionally unstable, officer, he is making false claims.
Vincent: We have the physical evidence and the original eye witness right here.
Clara stepped out from behind the counter with her head held high.
Clara: I am ready to give my full testimony to the grand jury today.
The officers moved in and secured Arthur and his assistant without further struggle.
