Chapter 7 - Federal Investigators Arrive To Take Over The Jurisdiction
Before the local deputies could begin formal questioning, the deep roar of heavy diesel engines echoed from the driveway outside the Savannah estate.
Three sleek black SUVs bearing federal government plates rolled up onto the gravel, their tinted windows reflecting the flashing red and blue emergency lights.
Four men in dark tactical suits and crisp FBI windbreakers stepped out of the lead vehicle with purposeful strides, marching straight toward the open back door of the kitchen.
“Captain Marlowe? I’m Special Agent Vance, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Counter-Intelligence and Financial Crimes Division,” the lead agent announced, flashing his gold shield.
“We intercepted your secure satellite ping from the European extraction point, and we’re here to secure the domestic chain of custody.”
Reid nodded, stepping aside to let the federal agents enter the kitchen and take possession of the fraudulent legal documents spread across the table.
“You’ll find everything you need right here, Agent Vance, including the forged casualty notifications and the financial ledgers linking my mother to the syndicate,” Reid stated professionally.

Agent Vance inspected the stack of papers, pulling out an evidence bag to carefully slide the documents inside before sealing the top with tamper-proof tape.
“Mrs. Vivienne Marlowe, you are being detained under federal warrants for conspiracy, wire fraud, identity falsification, and interstate extortion,” Agent Vance announced loudly, walking into the living room.
