Chapter 8 - Mysterious Phone Call Rings From An Unknown Number
Ethan wheeled himself manually over to the mahogany desk, picking up the heavy black secure telephone receiver.
“State your clearance code,” Ethan commanded coldly into the receiver, his jaw set in a hard line.
“Clearance codes don’t protect you anymore, Ethan... your little nurse friend just walked into the trap,” a distorted voice hissed.
“If you touch a hair on her head, I will burn your entire offshore network to the ground before morning,” Ethan threatened.
A dark, mocking laugh echoed through the secure line before the connection was abruptly terminated with a sharp beep.
Ethan slammed the receiver back onto its cradle, his face turning pale with sudden, suppressed rage.
He pressed the master intercom button connecting directly to the private security team stationed in the ground-floor lobby.
“Lock down the entire building right now! Seal all stairwells and deploy guards to the hidden corridor entrance!” he barked.
Static hissed from the intercom speaker for three agonizing seconds before a robotic voice responded with alarming news.
