Chapter 8 - Security Cameras Capture The Unknown Visitor At Dawn
Back in the high-tech estate security room, the central monitor wall displayed high-definition playback from the front gates.
Ethan sat in his wheelchair once again, watching the automated security timeline roll back to 5:00 AM that morning.
A sleek black sedan pulled up to the service entrance, dropping off little Maya with a hooded woman in the passenger seat.
The camera zoomed in automatically on the passenger side window as the hood slipped down for a fraction of a second.
Ethan slammed his fist down on the console desk, recognizing the profile of Clara’s lifelong best friend, Elena.
“Elena dropped her off... which means Clara is hiding at the old vineyard estate up in Napa Valley,” Ethan deduced instantly.
Sarah walked into the security room carrying a fresh cup of black coffee for Ethan to help steady his nerves.
“She’s been watching over you from afar all this time, Ethan, waiting for the right moment to strike back,” Sarah noted quietly.
“We fly to Napa Valley tonight on my private jet; Marcus won't know what hit him until the federal marshals arrive,” Ethan decided.
