Chapter 12 - Vanessa Tries To Access Grant’s Hidden Offshore Safe
Driven by sheer desperation, Vanessa sneaked down into the basement of the Highland Park mansion using a duplicate master key card.
She pushed aside a heavy oil painting hanging on the concrete wall, revealing a state-of-the-art biometric wall safe hidden behind it.
Grant had bragged to her weeks ago that the safe contained two hundred thousand dollars in emergency bearer bonds and Swiss francs.
Vanessa pressed her thumb against the optical scanner, hoping Grant had registered her biometric profile during their romantic weekends.
The scanner flashed bright red, emitting a harsh electronic beep: ACCESS DENIED. AUTHORIZATION PROFILE EXPIRED.
She tried entering Grant’s personal passcode, but the digital keypad immediately locked down, flashing an emergency security warning.
A synthetic voice echoed from the wall speaker: Warning: Security breach detected. Federal marshals have been notified of local access.

Vanessa shrieked, dropping her tools onto the concrete floor as the heavy security doors of the basement automatically locked shut around her.
She was trapped inside the dark, concrete room, waiting for the law enforcement officers who were already speeding toward the mansion gates.
