Chapter 23 - The Federal Reserve Vault
At 9:00 AM, Mark walked into the massive granite lobby of the Federal Reserve Bank on Liberty Street.
He wore a dark charcoal suit, carrying the black briefcase containing the micro-films and the brass key.
A high-ranking bank official met him in the private elevator, validating his military clearance credentials.
They descended eight stories beneath the city streets into the vault chambers reinforced with concrete and steel.
The official led Mark to Box 442, inserting his master key alongside Mark's brass key.
The heavy steel box clicked open, revealing a single glass drive containing Sarah's master kill-switch program.
Suddenly, the elevator doors at the end of the corridor opened, and four men in dark suits stepped out with drawn weapons.
