Chapter 10 - Gabriel Intercepts Victoria’s Desperate Call To Her Lawyer
Gabriel strode across the polished hardwood floor, tapping the glowing screen of the master security console.
The encrypted feed displayed an audio-only transmission originating from a public payphone near the harbor docks.
“This is Victoria Vance. I need immediate emergency extraction and a forged passport to Zurich,” a voice hissed.
Gabriel pressed a button on the console, routing his own secure communication line directly into her call.
“Save your breath, Victoria; every private airstrip and commercial vessel in New England is grounded,” Gabriel spoke coldly.
A sharp gasp echoed through the speakers as Victoria recognized the deep, unwavering voice of her primary antagonist.
“You think you’ve won, Gabriel? You don’t know what kind of monster you’ve invited into your life with that maid,” she spat.
“I know exactly who she is, and I know exactly who ordered the fire that destroyed her family in 1999,” Gabriel replied.
Silence hung heavy over the encrypted channel before Victoria let out a cold, manic laugh.
“Then you know she’s carrying the very bloodline that legally owns half of your precious federal agency.”
