Chapter 19 - The Prison Van Ambush
On Friday morning, a heavy steel transport van carrying Victoria was driving along the interstate toward the state penitentiary.
Two armed corrections officers sat in the front cab, while Victoria sat locked in the rear cell block wearing leg irons.
As the van crossed the swampy bridge near the Everglades, a black heavy-duty truck smashed into the rear bumper.
The transport van swerved violently, crashing through the guardrail and coming to a halt on the muddy embankment.
Three armed men in tactical gear burst out of the black truck, shooting out the van's tires with rapid gunfire.
They blew the rear doors off with a small explosive charge, pulling a terrified Victoria out into the humid air.
"Who are you?!" Victoria screamed, her hands pinned behind her back by heavy leather straps.
"Evelyn sent us to pull you out before you talk to the feds," the lead tactical man growled through his mask.
They threw her into the back of a waiting speedboat idling in the canal beneath the bridge.

The boat roared to life, disappearing into the dense mangrove channels of the Everglades before police helicopters could arrive.
