Chapter 9 - A Suspicious Vehicle Watches The Beverly Hills Estate
Outside the wrought-iron perimeter gates of the Beverly Hills estate, a nondescript dark SUV idled across the palm-lined street.
Inside the vehicle, a man in a sharp business suit pressed a secure satellite phone against his ear, staring at the mansion.
“Sir, the child delivered the message, and Ethan Vance just stood up from his wheelchair in the courtyard,” the operative reported.

“It seems Clara’s granddaughter unlocked some sort of biological trigger; they are reviewing security footage as we speak,” the spy said.
“Intercept that little girl and eliminate anyone who stands in your way before they reach the airstrip,” Marcus commanded coldly.
The operative ended the call, shifting the SUV into gear and pulling closer to the main vehicle exit of the estate.
Unbeknownst to them, Ethan’s elite private security detail had already locked down the perimeter cameras and spotted the tail.
