Chapter 16 - Isabel Receives A Mysterious Warning From An Unknown Source
Inside the top-floor office of Kensington Tower, Isabel reviewed the evening compliance reports under soft LED lighting.
Her private secretary walked in quietly, placing a heavy black envelope on the corner of her glass desk.
“This was dropped off by a courier downstairs, ma’am; it has no return address or postage stamps,” the secretary reported.
Isabel frowned, slipping her letter opener under the black flap to slide out a single sheet of heavy parchment.
“You think you won the war, Isabel, but the Vance foundation holds secrets you haven't uncovered yet,” the note read.
At the bottom was a crude sketch of an old warehouse district near the Brooklyn Navy Yard docks.
Isabel’s instincts immediately flared up, recognizing the signature warning style of old-money corporate extortion.
She picked up her encrypted desk phone, dialing her chief security detail to dispatch a reconnaissance team immediately.
