Chapter 20 - An Old Enemy Returns To Threaten The Sterling Family
Late one snowy night while the rest of the household slept soundly, a lone figure stood outside the perimeter security gates.
A gloved hand slipped a small, unmarked envelope into the automated mail slot before disappearing into the winter darkness.
The next morning, the gate guard brought the envelope directly to Julian while he was enjoying coffee in the sunroom.
Julian opened the heavy paper flap and pulled out a single Polaroid photograph stamped with a recent date.
The photo showed an unfamiliar man standing outside Leo’s private school holding a menacing placard with a warning message.
Written on the back of the photograph in neat, cursive ink were words that made Julian’s blood run instantly cold.
“The game isn't over yet, Sterling. Your son is still within our reach…”

Julian gripped the photograph so hard his knuckles turned completely white, realizing a new storm was brewing on the horizon.
