Chapter 17 - The Federal Subpoena Arrives At The Corporate Office Doors
The afternoon sun beat down on the glass facade of Montes Enterprises as a federal courier delivered an urgent subpoena. Rafael Montes received the document directly from his chief of security inside his penthouse office.
He unfolded the stiff legal paper, reading the federal prosecutor’s emergency motion with keen interest. The court had officially granted a warrant to subpoena all international wire transfers linked to Julian Vance.
“The net is tightening around the entire syndicate, not just Alejandro,” Rafael noted with quiet satisfaction. He buzzed his assistant, instructing her to connect him immediately with Agent Miller at the federal field office.
“Miller, we just got the green light on the international wire warrants,” Rafael stated when the line connected. “My intelligence sources in Zurich indicate Julian Vance is currently operating out of New York.”

“We’ve been tracking Vance for three years, Mr. Montes, but we could never link him directly to the Moretti family,” Miller replied. “That diary Sofia sent to Elena is the missing puzzle piece that connects every single shell company.”
“Protect my daughter and grandson at all costs, Agent Miller; Julian is a very dangerous man,” Rafael warned grimly. “They’re under 24-hour federal protection, Mr. Montes. Nobody touches them,” Miller assured him firmly.
