Chapter 10 - Security Feed Cuts Out As Someone Enters Room
Back in the master bedroom, the bank of security monitors suddenly flickered from color to blinding static snow.
Every single camera feed across the fifty stories of the Manhattan skyscraper went completely black simultaneously.
Ethan sat in the center of the dark room, listening intently to the faint sound of boots approaching across the marble floor.
“I know you’re there, Robert,” Ethan said calmly, addressing the empty shadows near the balcony doors.
A tall figure stepped out from behind the heavy velvet drapes, wearing an immaculate charcoal-gray business suit.
Robert Vance smiled smoothly, adjusting his platinum cufflinks as he looked down at his seated brother.
“You played the crippled invalid remarkably well, Ethan... almost convincing enough to fool the board of directors,” Robert mocked.
“You murdered three innocent nurses just to test the security blind spots of this estate,” Ethan stated with cold fury.
Robert shrugged casually, walking toward the open secret passage door where Riley was currently trapped inside.
“Collateral damage in a corporate restructuring,” Robert replied coldly, pulling a heavy steel padlock from his pocket.

Before Ethan could react, Robert slammed the hidden passage door shut and secured the heavy padlock with a loud click.
