Bloodstained Memoranda

Words: 3009 · Source Novel:: Bias in the Blood

Leo becomes a rising contender, his hands stained for Lena's hospital bills. He secretly locates Sam, who communicates in riddles about being "transferred" by VDFS to a place called "The Kennel." During pre-trial discovery, Elena and Diana's attorney, Samuel Brooker, uncovers an internal VDFS memorandum. The memo explicitly advocates denying licenses to homosexuals but contains coded ledger entries linking case numbers to off-book "welfare placements." Detective Frank Morrow, a hardened traditionalist assigned to Sam’s missing persons case, reviews the same memo and dismisses it as a slanderous fabrication by the "deviant couple," focusing instead on Leo's petty gambling records.
