Chapter 9 - The Federal Agents Arrive
Before Eleanor or Evelyn could respond, the heavy suite door was thrown open, and three men in dark suits stepped into the room.
The lead man flashed a gold badge mounted on a leather holder, his sharp eyes taking in the scene with professional focus.
“Eleanor Sterling? Evelyn Dupont?” Special Agent Miller from the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced in a clear, booming voice.
“We have a federal warrant for the seizure of all corporate ledgers associated with Sterling Logistics and Dupont Aerospace.”
Evelyn backed into the corner, her silver evening dress catching the light as she clutched her pearl necklace in terror.
“This is a mistake!” Evelyn cried out. “My father is a United States Senator candidate! You can’t touch us!”
“Your father was taken into custody at the grand ballroom downstairs ten minutes ago, Miss Dupont,” Agent Miller replied flatly.
“He was arrested for corporate espionage, tax fraud, and witness intimidation regarding the Thomas Vance estate.”
