She thought of the ill-fated Christmas visit; her father had been arrested for a white-collar crime and accused of murder. Henry Truman had been involved with two business associates who had swindled innocent investors of millions of dollars. He had been naïve in blindly trusting and signing off on the proposals that were laid before him by these men. Both associates had been murdered and the mastermind of the scheme had tried to blackmail him into divulging details of his clientele. This mastermind had been caught and sentenced to a long prison sentence for the murder of Henry’s associates and their nefarious activities. While he had been released early for good behavior, it was a terrible time for the Truman family, and Meghan wanted to forget any of it had ever happened.
“Why are all of these trucks here?” she wondered as she spotted three semi-trucks parked outside of the house. “Is the circus in town?”
Meghan parked the car and scurried to the front door. Before she could knock, the door swung open.
The door opened, and Meghan gasped. “What is going on here?” she cried as she peered into her childhood home.
