Chapter 18 - Lucas Uncovers A Threat Hidden In Plain Sight
Agent Miller handed Lucas a printed intelligence report containing surveillance photographs of Victoria Vance’s associates.
Lucas flipped through the pages until his eyes stopped dead on a photo of a familiar man standing outside the house.
“Wait... I’ve seen this face before. He was lingering near our mailbox three days before Chad pushed Sarah,” Lucas realized.
“That’s Arthur Vance, Victoria’s cousin and enforcer. He specializes in eliminating loose ends,” Agent Miller warned gravely.
Sarah walked into the hallway from the kitchen, having heard the mention of an enforcer near their home.
“He was watching us the whole time? Waiting for the right moment to strike?” Sarah asked, her voice trembling slightly.
“Yes, ma’am. Your safety is our top priority, which is why we’re placing a federal detail outside your property,” Miller assured.
The realization hit them like a splash of cold water: the danger wasn't fully over just because Chad was behind bars.
