Before Reid could process the implications of the international legal notice, the security monitor mounted on the kitchen wall flickered to life with a soft electronic beep.
The live camera feed showed the front perimeter stone wall and the heavy iron security gates leading into our Savannah driveway.
Parked quietly in the shadows of the overhanging oak trees was a sleek, black luxury sedan idling without its headlights turned on.
Inside the parked car, an anonymous figure sat watching the lit kitchen windows through high-powered night-vision optics.
“It looks like closing one chapter of this nightmare just opened a much larger global book,” Reid muttered, his voice dropping into a dangerous, protective register.
He tapped the intercom control panel, activating the exterior perimeter speaker to address the uninvited observer waiting outside our gates.

“Identify yourself and state your business on private property, or local authorities will be dispatched to impound your vehicle,” Reid commanded into the microphone.
The black sedan didn't respond verbally; instead, its headlights flashed twice in rapid succession before the car slowly reversed down the country road and disappeared into the night.
