After returning home from a 9-month deployment, I found all my belongings stuffed into trash bags inside my own house

two minutes later I sat across from Captain Morales.

Sharp eyes.

No small talk.

“You said this was urgent,” she said.

I slid the folder toward her.

“It is.”

She started with the bank records, then the IP logs, then the power of attorney.

I let her read.

Her expression barely changed until she reached the forged signature.

“That’s not yours,” she said.

“No,” I replied.

She continued.

“45,000,” she said. “Transferred while you were deployed.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

“And this individual, Vance, he’s active duty lieutenant.”

She leaned back.
