Chapter 8 - Victoria Attempts To Escape Through The Rear Gardens
Agent Miller stared up at Richard and Leo before turning his suspicious gaze back toward Victoria.
“If Mr. Richard has allegations, Mrs. Victoria, you’ll both accompany us down to the federal precinct for questioning,” Miller stated.
Victoria’s calm demeanor fractured instantly for a fraction of a second, her eyes darting toward the rear terrace doors.
“I have constitutional rights as an American citizen; you cannot detain me without a formal grand jury warrant!” she snapped defensively.
“We have an active federal warrant for corporate embezzlement and obstruction of justice signed this morning,” Miller replied flatly.
Panic flashed across Victoria’s face as two female federal agents stepped forward to cuff her wrists.
Instead of surrendering, Victoria spun around with shocking speed, sprinting toward the floor-to-ceiling glass terrace doors.
She shattered the glass pane with a heavy decorative vase, diving out onto the stone patio toward the rear gardens.
“Stop her! She’s running for the private helipad!” Richard shouted from the top of the stairs, pointing outside.
