Chapter 14 - THE TETERBORO TAKEDOWN
At Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, a sleek Gulfstream private jet sat on the tarmac, its engines whining as it prepared for an unscheduled departure to South America. Richard Sterling sprinted across the asphalt carrying two heavy leather duffel bags packed with foreign currency.
"Hurry up!" Richard shouted at the pilot, taking the stairs two at a time. "We need to be airborne before the federal marshals clear the highway!"
Suddenly, four armored federal vehicles tore onto the tarmac, surrounding the aircraft with flashing lights and loud sirens. Agent Vance stepped out of the lead vehicle, his arm wrapped in a tight sling from the safehouse shootout.
"Power down your engines immediately!" Vance shouted through a megaphone, his voice echoing across the wide airport runway.
Richard stood on the aircraft stairs, his expensive coat flapping violently in the jet wash as he looked at the ring of federal agents surrounding him. He reached into his coat pocket, pulling out a small silver key that matched the one Maya had reclaimed.

"You'll never get the vault!" Richard screamed in pure madness, throwing the key into the spinning intake of the jet engine.
The engine let out a deafening metallic screech as sparks exploded into the night air, destroying the key in a fraction of a second.
