Chapter 15 - The Casino Ship
By midnight, Ethan and Marcus were forty miles off the coast of Florida, drifting in international waters near the Bahamas.
Through long-range night-vision binoculars, they spotted the massive luxury cruise liner The Golden Siren anchored in calm waters.
The ship served as an offshore casino catering to billionaire fugitives, illegal gamblers, and high-level syndicate bosses.
"Madame Rose is onboard that vessel tonight, Ethan," Marcus reported, reviewing satellite blueprints provided by federal intelligence.
"If we can secure her master database, we can expose every syndicate operative embedded in American households," Ethan stated firmly.
Using a quiet electric jet-ski, Ethan and Marcus approached the rear hull of the massive cruise liner undetected under cover of darkness.
They scaled a service ladder on the lower stern deck, slipping into the engine room disguised in dark maritime maintenance uniforms.
Navigating through the bustling casino floor filled with crystal chandeliers and roulette tables, they headed for the upper VIP penthouse suite.
Outside the penthouse doors stood two massive security guards holding concealed submachine guns beneath their tuxedo jackets.

Ethan nodded to Marcus, both men striking with lightning precision to knock the guards unconscious before they could draw weapons.
