Task Force Vigilante: A father's Revenge Intensified

by Louis Berry

Seven-year-old Madeline McVie was raped by a close family friend. Upon discovering evidence of the assault, the young girl’s parents plot their revenge which offers culpable deniability. Intercepted by a sheriff’s deputy, William McVie is offered the opportunity to not only exact revenge on his daughter’s attacker, but to dismantle a drug and human trafficking apparatus that has been operating in the small and inconsequential port town of Panama City. The establishment of a human trafficking task force brings together those who are involved and profit from the flesh of innocent women and children and those who wish to eliminate them. The criminals agree to serve on the task force to observe tactics against their organization. A network of townspeople develops organically to protect their children and provide counterintelligence to the two members of the task force working to bring justice to lost innocence. Nearly three decades would be spent eliminating the town’s power structure that controlled every vice and destroyed the fabric of humanity living within its limits. Normal teenage struggles exacerbated Madeline’s secret which she tried to push deeply into her subconscious. Discussions between parents and victim never occurred. Truth of circumstances were only revealed when William was arrested and tried on eight counts of murder. The Bay County Courthouse became the venue in which father and daughter finally understood the other’s struggles coping with the vilest act perpetrated upon a seven year old girl twenty-eight years earlier.
