Chapter 7 - The Secret Meeting At A Downtown Manhattan Restaurant**
Deep inside a private VIP booth at an exclusive subterranean restaurant in Tribeca, Daniel and Claire met with federal prosecutor Sarah Sterling.
The restaurant was quiet, illuminated by amber wall sconces that cast long shadows across their secluded leather booth.
“Ms. Sterling, the transactional evidence Claire gathered gives us an airtight case for federal wire fraud and grand larceny,” Daniel stated clearly.
Prosecutor Sterling reviewed the documents under the dim light, nodding slowly with an expression of professional satisfaction.
“This escrow trap Mrs. Caldwell set didn't just secure the stolen money; it legally trapped Marcus inside an interstate conspiracy charge,” Sterling noted.
“If we move forward with the grand jury indictment tomorrow morning, Marcus won't have time to liquidate his remaining assets,” she added.
Claire took a sip of sparkling water, her eyes fixed calmly on the prosecutor across the table.
“He’s going to try to flee to his property in the British Virgin Islands once he realizes his domestic accounts are permanently frozen,” Claire warned.
“We’ve already flagged his passport with Homeland Security,” Sterling assured her with a confident smile.
