Within seconds, the heavy double doors of the administrative wing burst open. It wasn’t the local campus security. It was the State Police, flanked by agents from the Department of Education’s oversight division and a process server.

Richard jumped to his feet, shielding his son. “You can’t do this! I am the primary donor of this academy! I demand to call my legal counsel!”
“Call them,” my lawyer said, stepping into the room behind the officers and handing Richard a thick sheaf of legal documents. “But they can’t stop a state-mandated emergency asset freeze on Oak Creek Elementary for suspected administrative bribery, nor can they stop the immediate arrest warrant for your son. Furthermore, you are being served with a multi-million dollar civil suit for intentional infliction of emotional distress, conspiracy to conceal a felony, and subornation of a minor to commit violence.”
