He'd been even more masterful than his son when it came to designs. He’d submitted over thirty projects to be approved. Currently, Mathers circulated about sixty percent of them.
    There was an entire file delegated to patents that had first been applied for by the individual man, blocked, and then registered to Mathers Incorporated. As Charlotte read on, her heart grew heavier and heavier. There were records of the man's termination, citing confrontation with company policies when it was obvious that he'd just wanted to be recognized for his own work.
                  Then, there were the black list letters—at least fifty of them. There were drafts of letters to other companies, threatening them or bribing them not to hire Lester Marscomb. They spoke of his treachery and the shortcomings of his character, threatening to drive any local company who hired him into the ground with the patents that Mathers currently held. It seemed that the man was denied employment from every subsequent job, simply because of these letters. There were even some documents from companies—then smaller fish and today at the top of their game—begging Mathers to let them hire the man. Those companies were turned down flat and threatened.
                  When, finally, Charlotte came to the personal files of the blacklisted man, tears began to drip down her cheeks. There were pictures of him, his wife, and his son—a much younger David. They looked ecstatically happy during the year that he was employed. Then, there was a censored image of the man found in his bathtub, headlining a news article.
                  Brooklyn Man Found Dead in Bathroom: Victim of Tragic Suicide .
                  The rest of the information followed a growing David. It seemed that he had worked his entire life to support his family. Ever since Lester had been fired, they'd been close to destitute. He had worked his way through both high school and college, bolstered by his own brilliance. He had labored for years in white collar companies that had kept him on long enough to steal his patents. In return, those companies sold the patents to Mathers for millions of dollars.
    The depth of the corruption made Charlotte sick to her stomach. By the time she'd reached present day, complete with David's mother's psychiatric and medical reports detailing deep depression and psychosis, she'd had enough.
                  Her father had lied. There was no doubt about that. It hadn't been Lester Marscomb who had stolen the patents. Rather, it was the other way around. The reason her father had never been tech savvy was because he'd never designed anything before. As far as the claim that David was her brother—Charlotte still wasn't so sure.
                  Among the files, she'd found several disturbing pictures of Lester’s wife. There was no doubt that she and Charlotte's father had an affair. However, it was unclear how deep the connection had gone. There was a very real possibility, Charlotte mused, that David was her half-brother; but, now that she'd discovered the depths of her father's lies, she didn't know what to think anymore.
                  As Charlotte logged out of the computer, she stood and wiped her eyes of the moisture that had filled them. She had to speak with David—the sooner, the better.
                  She had to know the truth.
     
     

Chapter Five
     
                  So this was what jail was like
                  In all his contemplations, over all the years that he'd planned on taking Mathers Incorporated down, David had never once imagined he'd end up here. Thankfully, he hadn't yet been transferred to a penitentiary, but he had no doubt it would be coming soon. He'd felt Mathers' jaw crack, as his fist had connected with it. Christ , it had felt good. All those years of pent up anger, resentment, and absolute hatred poured out of
