Chapter 21 - A Mysterious Threat Lurks Outside The Secure Gates
Deep in the dead of night, far away from the prison walls, the Vance estate lay quiet under a blanket of moonlight.
Marcus slept soundly upstairs in his master suite, believing the dark chapter of his life was permanently closed.

Attached to the paper was a polished silver key bearing the mysterious crest of an unseen international corporate syndicate.
The car sped away silently into the night, leaving fresh tire tracks in the damp gravel near the entrance.
The security camera blinked red, recording the mysterious package resting quietly on the cold metal post.
