"Tomorrow," James said, closing the folder. "We don't ask her to explain herself. We show her we already know the truth, and we make sure everyone in that room hears it at the same time she does."Nancy looked at the badge case sitting on the counter—no longer closed, no longer taken away. James picked it up and slid it back into his jacket, the weight of it settling into place like it belonged there again."She took this from you to stop us," Nancy said. "And all it did was buy her one more day.""One more day," James agreed. "That runs out tomorrow morning."Outside, the evening settled quiet over Cedar Hollow, porch lights flickering on one by one down the street—the same street where Logan Kershaw had once stood in a fake vest, telling Nancy she had one hour before her car got towed. Tomorrow, the clock would finally run out on someone else.The locksmith's truck was already parked at the curb when Nancy and James pulled out of their own driveway the next morning, its yellow light spinning slow and lazy, like changing the locks on someone's house was just another Tuesday errand.Nancy's stomach turned at the sight of it.James didn't slow down. "It doesn't touch the door today," he said, steering past it. "Not while we're still breathing."The clubhouse was already full by the time they arrived, fuller than either of the last two meetings combined. Word had spread fast. Nancy hadn't even needed to knock on doors this time: neighbors filled every folding chair, spilled along the back wall, phones half-raised, waiting.Gordon Lacy stood near the front table, a leather folder tucked under one arm, badge clipped visibly to his belt. James walked in beside Nancy, his own credentials back in place for the first time in over a week, and the room seemed to feel the shift the moment he crossed the threshold.Pearl sat at the board table, pale, hands folded tightly in her lap, refusing to look anywhere near Venus, who had taken her usual seat near the back, like she still believed the room belonged to her.The chair called the meeting to order, but Gordon didn't wait for an agenda."I am Assistant County Prosecutor Gordon Lacy," he said, stepping forward. "I'm here regarding an active investigation into fraud, extortion, and falsification of official HOA proceedings tied to Cedar Hollow Compliance and Security."
