"My suspension's been extended," he said. "Formal notice, full investigation, indefinite timeline. No credentials, no authority, effective until further notice."They stood together in the kitchen, the eviction notice on the counter beside James's closed badge case, both of them staring at proof that Venus's reach had moved faster than any evidence they could gather."She had the vote delayed," Nancy said slowly, putting it together out loud. "Then she used the delay to push the lien through before we could ever bring it back to the board.""And she made sure I couldn't do a damn thing to stop it," James added, jaw tight. "Not officially. Not with any authority behind me."Nancy sank into a kitchen chair, the folder of evidence sitting useless in front of her—not because it was wrong, but because nobody with the power to act on it had been given the chance yet.A knock at the door interrupted the silence. It was Harold standing on the porch, a folded piece of paper in his hand—the same notice, she realized, posted on a fence two doors down, where the locksmith's schedule had apparently already made its way through the neighborhood grapevine."Heard about the lien," he said quietly, stepping inside without waiting to be asked. "Heard they're moving fast.""Forty-eight hours," Nancy said, her voice hollow.Harold nodded slowly, thinking something over before he spoke again. "I've still got more, you know. Cards I never gave you. Footage going back further than what I already handed over, before Logan ever showed up in your driveway, back when she was still setting all this up." He looked at Nancy, steady, certain. "She doesn't know how much of it's still out there. She thinks she already won."Nancy looked up at him, something small and stubborn sparking back to life behind the exhaustion in her chest. "Then maybe it's time she found out she's wrong."They started before sunrise, the kitchen table covered edge to edge by the time the coffee finished brewing. Harold arrived first, carrying a small metal case Nancy had never seen before. Inside were memory cards, each one labeled in careful handwriting, dates going back further than anything he'd handed over before."Started recording the day she put those cameras up on the clubhouse," Harold said, setting the case down like it weighed more than it looked. "Long before Logan ever showed up. Figured a woman who wants that much control over a street is a woman worth keeping an eye on."James pulled the footage up one file at a time: Venus meeting with contractors in the clubhouse parking lot months before Logan was ever hired; Venus's voice caught faint on an early clip talking about "resetting the demographics" of the street like she was discussing paint colors; financial documents cross-referenced against invoice numbers James had already pulled, showing a clear, unbroken line from HOA fines straight into the Ashley family trust.
