Vanessa was out meeting her attorney downtown, leaving the house completely empty when the federal agents arrived.

A small, heavy-duty digital wall safe slid open, revealing stacks of cash, international passports, and legal documents.

“Look at this,” Brody said, handing a typewritten agreement to Daniel with a sympathetic expression.
