A HOMELESS BOY POINTED AT MY WEDDING PHOTO AND SAID, “THAT’S MY MOM”—BUT I’D BELIEVED MY WIFE WAS DEAD FOR 10 YEARS / Chapter 6 / 10

Chapter 6 - THE RED BOOK

The red book was real.

Emily had hidden it in a place only Luca could help identify.

He remembered a phrase:

“The place with the broken angel.”

James knew it.

St. Matthew’s Cemetery.

Emily’s mother was buried there.

Her grave stood near a stone angel damaged by lightning.

James, Mara, and federal investigators went together.

No private treasure hunt.

No contamination.

Behind a loose stone in the family mausoleum wall, agents found a waterproof document pouch.

Inside:

the red ledger.

Not handwritten.

A red-bound internal audit book.

Trial payments.

Safety-testing invoices.

Off-book transfers.

Names.

Victor Hale appeared repeatedly.

So did Dr. Malcolm Price, chief medical officer.

Payments marked:

consulting adjustment.

Another category:

retention.

Then one page:

H. Reed—containment expense.

Mara stared.

“What does containment mean?”

No one knew.

Then another:

E. Whitmore—unresolved.

James felt sick.
