Chapter 13 - Catching Julian attempting to secretly bribe the laboratory technicians in the dark parking garage to alter the crucial DNA sample before sunrise tomorrow morning arrives.
Down in the subterranean parking garage of the estate, shadows stretched long beneath the fluorescent parking lights.
Julian crept toward the medical transport van where the sealed DNA samples from the morning testing were securely stored.
He pulled a thick envelope stuffed with hundred-dollar bills from his tailored suit jacket, looking nervously around the empty garage.
As he reached for the latch of the van door, a heavy hand descended firmly onto his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks.
Julian spun around in terror, coming face-to-face with head bodyguard Marcus and two armed federal marshals.
"Looking for something, Mr. Sterling?" Marcus asked in a flat, unyielding tone that cut straight through the concrete echo.
"I... I was just checking the security seals! Someone has to look out for this company's interests!" Julian lied frantically.
Agent Miller stepped out from behind a concrete pillar, snapping a pair of heavy steel handcuffs around Julian's wrists with a click.
"Attempting to tamper with federal court evidence is a felony charge, Julian; your career is officially over," Miller announced coldly.
