Chapter 13 - A New Tactical Team Is Assembled In Manhattan
By the end of the week, Elena had established a high-tech operations center inside a private, unmarked brownstone in Brooklyn.
She recruited three elite specialists: Marcus, a former CIA cyber-intelligence operative; Sarah, a forensic accountant; and David, a tactical expert.
Surveillance monitors covered the walls, displaying live financial feeds, satellite tracking map, and encrypted communications loops from Washington.
“Our first primary target is Senator Richard Vance, Victoria’s father,” Marcus reported, zooming in on a photograph of a tall politician.
“He’s hosting a private fundraising gala at the Metropolitan Club in Manhattan tonight, attended by the top financial directors of The Apex.”
Sarah pulled up a series of complex wire transfer diagrams on her screen, pointing to a series of shell accounts registered in Delaware.
“Vance is funneling thirty million dollars through a fake infrastructure bill to fund private intelligence operations in Eastern Europe,” Sarah explained.

“Tonight, we crash Senator Vance’s party,” Elena announced softly. “And we deliver the second blow to The Apex Syndicate.”
