Chapter 14 - The Flight to Zurich
Knowing the threat could not be ignored overseas, Alexander made the immediate decision to take the fight directly to Europe.
He left Clara and Chloe under the unyielding protection of twenty federal agents and Marcus at the fortified Vermont safehouse.
Alexander boarded his private trans-Atlantic jet at Boston Logan International Airport, flying straight into Zurich, Switzerland.
The sleek jet touched down at Kloten Airport under a cold, misty European rain that mirrored the chill in Alexander's soul.
He was met on the tarmac by two Swiss federal police inspectors who had been secretly cooperating with the American Department of Justice.
"Mr. Alexander, your uncle Viktor operates out of a fortified medieval estate overlooking Lake Zurich," Inspector Bauer explained in the car.
"He controls three major Swiss banks and has deep political immunity across central Europe," the inspector warned grimly.
"Diplomatic immunity ends where attempted murder and kidnapping begin," Alexander replied coldly, staring out the tinted window.
They drove up the winding alpine road toward a massive stone fortress surrounded by wrought-iron gates and private security patrols.
