The Witness and the Executioner

Words: 2847 · Source Novel:: The Black Chapel Legacy

As Venn lies dying from internal injuries sustained during the arrest, Eliza files a federal civil rights suit against the Belford County Sheriff Office, mirroring the excessive force claim. Her investigation leads to a dusty immigration affidavit: Venn was a teenage conscript who witnessed the 1944 Black Chapel Massacre, where Draven's counter-intelligence unit executed forty Ardenian villagers suspected of harboring partisans. The central horror is the "Lullaby Protocol"—a falsified Allied report that buried the crime. Now, Draven, the only surviving executioner, uses his political influence and the Sheriff’s internal affairs division to paint Venn as a delusional Soviet spy, ensuring the suit is mired in motions to dismiss.
