Chapter 4 - MARIA HAD INTERRUPTED A REHEARSALInvestigators found something inside Victoria’s purse.

A photocopy of Mom’s signature.

Then another.

Then an authorization template for the Manhattan vault.

That changed the case.

Victoria wasn’t simply taking things.

She was preparing to impersonate Mom’s authority.

Maria had walked in before Victoria finished.

The gold in the travel bag created a believable excuse later.

“Mrs. Reeves asked me to move it.”

Then a forged authorization could be presented.

The first theft was practice.

Test the key.

Test the code.

See whether Mom noticed.

Then move larger assets.

I looked at Maria.

“You stopped more than you knew.”

She shook her head.

“I only saw the bag.”

Exactly.

Sometimes people interrupt crimes before they understand the scale.

That did not make what they did smaller.
