Arthur pulled another document from his folder, his fingers moving with practiced efficiency.

“On October twelfth of last year, three million dollars in federal defense logistics funds were transferred to Apex Holdings,” Arthur said.

“Within twenty-four hours, those funds were routed through a shell company in Cyprus,” he said.

“The final destination was a private account at Banque Privée Genevoise,” he added.

He turned the document so it faced Patricia.

“The sole authorized signature on that account belongs to you, Patricia,” Arthur said.

“Not to the Monroe Corporation,” he said.

“And certainly not to your son,” he added.

Patricia’s face paled, but her expression remained rigid.

She did not look down at the signature page.

“My signature is on hundreds of documents every week,” she said.

“I rely on my financial officers to vet these transactions,” she added.

“If there was an error, we will audit it internally and correct any discrepancies,” she said.

“It is a civil matter,” she added, her voice rising slightly.

“It is a theft of federal defense funds during a time of active military deployment,” General Vance said.
