Chapter 11 - A Mysterious Package Arrives From An Unknown Sender
Just as Agent Vance packed up his briefcase and prepared to leave for the federal courthouse in Atlanta, a sharp chime echoed from the front porch intercom.
“Expecting another visitor, Captain?” Agent Vance asked, pausing near the doorway with his hand resting on his tactical vest.
“No, everyone who knows we’re here is already inside this room,” Reid replied, his brow furrowing in suspicion.
I stood up slowly, walking toward the front foyer while Reid followed closely behind me with his hand resting instinctively where his service weapon used to hang.
I pulled the heavy front door open to find an empty porch, save for a heavy, unembossed white envelope resting on the welcome mat.

The envelope bore no return address, but stamped across the corner was a secure Swiss postmark and an ancient corporate crest stamped in crimson wax.
“Don't touch it, Clara; let me check it first,” Reid commanded gently, stepping around me to lift the envelope with the edge of a silver letter opener.
