Chapter Six

He couldn’t wait anymore. If she wasn’t going to come to him willingly, then he had no qualms about taking what he wanted by force. He’d proven that time and again over the years and this was no exception. Still, he would give her one more chance, he decided. He was a patient man, and he was confident in both his abilities of persuasion and the power of his will. He still believed she would come around. She just needed a little…incentive.

He slid the last document onto the table, watching the old woman sign it. It wasn’t the first time he’d run this scam—but it was the first time he’d done so on such a grand scale. It was a simple cash-back-at-closing deal, perfectly legal. Except that he’d had the property appraised at an inflated price, allowing the buyer to make an offer far above its actual value while putting very little in the way of a down payment on the property. The bank had no idea the appraisal was rigged, nor did they know that his buyer was a straw-man, being paid off with the proceeds.

Of course, all of his fake-buyer’s income and asset documentation was also fraudulent. He was just a guy from the Hooverville downtown, but he cleaned up well enough and, more importantly, could play the part. Lionel had worked with a lot of grifters over the years, some better than others, but there was always someone new around to play the roles he needed filled.

As the broker of the deal, he would pocket the difference between the actual value of the home and the appraised value—giving his Hooverville friend enough to make him happy—and they’d both be long gone before the bank realized the buyer was a dummy and the deal was bust. The property would go into foreclosure and the seller would be moved already.

So he wasn’t really hurting anyone after all, he reasoned. In theory, Mae’s grandmother would never know what had happened. She’d be living happily somewhere in the countryside with her granddaughter, none the wiser, and Lionel would be quite a bit richer.

“Goodness, I think I’m getting a cramp!” The old woman shook her writing hand, smiling up at him. “So much paperwork.”

“They like to make it complicated, don’t they?” Lionel slid all of the documentation into a large envelope. “But now you can walk away free and clear.”

And so can I, he thought.

“Mae will be so happy.” She gave a little sigh, picking up the tea he’d made for her. The servants had the day off, at Lionel’s suggestion. The woman liked him and didn’t question his requests. “She hates the city.”

And that was the wrench in the works, wasn’t it? He knew he should just take the money and run, but Mae had caught his attention from the beginning, back when he’d been selling insurance in Nebraska. It was mostly on the up-and-up, although he occasionally ran a profitable scam or two. He hadn’t been planning to scam
