Denise did some digging after Helen left. What she found was quite interesting. "Charles Hudson is the one who filed the original fraudulent warranty deed. The property was then sold to Isaac Thomas. He currently has four mortgages on the same property!"

"That's mortgage fraud," I said.

"Want to take a guess who the mortgage broker was?"

"Xavier King?"

"Bingo."

"Do you think Brynn is involved in this?"

Denise shrugged.

"I know she works closely with Xavier King. I met him at her office."

"Just wait, it gets better," Denise said. "I did a check on Charles Hudson and Isaac Thomas."

I lifted an expectant brow, eager to hear what she had to say.

"Neither one of them exist."

My face crinkled. "What do you mean?"

"Both of those individuals have Social Security numbers that belong to newborns. The numbers don't match the names. I seriously doubt a two-year-old has a credit history and can qualify for a mortgage. My guess is the social security numbers are fake, probably obtained with a fake birth certificate. I've seen this kind of thing before."

I was beginning to realize how deep this scam went.

"It will take some time, but I'll do a search for all the transactions that Xavier King was involved with. Something tells me this isn't going to be the only instance of mortgage fraud we find."

"I agree."

With the evidence Denise uncovered, it didn't take long to get an arrest warrant for Xavier King.

We grabbed Erickson, Faulkner, Wilford, and Henley and raided Xavier King's office. It was in the strip center, a few doors down from Brynn Douglas & Associates.

We stormed into the place, guns drawn. Menacing assault rifles swept through the office, focusing on Xavier King.

The mortgage broker was going over an application with a client. She shrieked in terror, and King looked stunned.

"Down on the ground! Now!" I shouted.

King slipped out from behind his desk and lay on the ground. Erickson cuffed him behind his back, slapping the cold steel around his wrists. Erickson ratcheted the cuffs tight, then pulled Xavier to his feet.

"What the hell is going on?"

"You're under arrest for mortgage fraud," I said. "You have the right to remain silent…"

"What are you talking about?"

Erickson and Faulkner carted him out of the office and stuffed him into the back of the patrol car as he protested.

I apologized to his client. "Sorry for the inconvenience, ma'am."

She trembled, terrified.

We strolled out of the office, and Marley Bruce, Brynn's associate, stood on the walkway under the awning, watching the whole thing. She glared at me.

I stepped to her. "I'd like to speak with Brynn. Is she in the office?"

I wasn't sure what Brynn's involvement was in all of this. Maybe she didn't know? But I was highly suspicious.

Marley's scowl deepened as I approached. "What the hell are you doing?"

My brow crinkled. It wasn't exactly the reaction I expected from her.

"You are fucking everything up!"

“Excuse me?"
