Chapter 9
Back in Washington, D.C., Ethan met with Prosecutor Harrison in a secure underground briefing room at the Department of Justice. Federal agents projected satellite reconnaissance maps and financial flowcharts across a massive digital smartboard.
"Our intelligence confirms that Arthur Sterling has dispatched a tactical extraction and elimination team toward the United States," Harrison briefed. Ethan leaned forward, resting his elbows on the metal table, his eyes locked onto the glowing tactical monitors.
"They are coming for me because they know I hold the encryption keys to their offshore laundering network," Ethan stated. "We anticipated this move; we've set up a secure safehouse in the Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains," Harrison assured him.
"What about Lily? She needs a secure medical facility while recovering from the neurotoxin," Ethan asked with paternal worry. "She is already under 24-hour armed federal protection at a classified military hospital facility," Harrison replied.

Ethan let out a quiet sigh of relief, knowing his daughter was safe from the impending crossfire. "When do we spring the trap on Sterling's domestic operatives?" Ethan asked, his voice steady and battle-ready.
"Tonight at midnight; federal marshals will raid their Virginia sleeper cell simultaneously," Harrison answered with a confident smirk. The war against corporate greed and family betrayal was about to reach its explosive climax.
