Chapter 10 - Federal Agents Surround The Aspen Mountain Compound
Two hours later, a convoy of black SUVs bearing federal Department of Justice insignia pulled up to the Aspen estate gates.
Special Agent Vance stepped out into the freezing night air, wearing a heavy winter coat and an official badge around his neck.
He marched up the stone steps, entering the grand foyer where Leo and Sheriff Miller were reviewing the recovered documents.
“Director Vance, federal prosecutors have authorized an immediate expansion of the local wire fraud investigation,” Agent Vance reported.
“Did you intercept Victoria’s communications before her phone was confiscated by the deputies?” Leo asked eagerly.
“We did; she was frantically trying to wire five million dollars to a dummy corporation in Zurich before we locked her out,” Agent Vance confirmed.
The federal agent placed a thick investigative brief onto the mahogany table, opening it to reveal a familiar corporate name.
“Her primary co-conspirator isn't just an anonymous banker; it’s your chief corporate executive officer, Marcus Sterling,” he revealed.
Leo clenched his fists so hard his knuckles turned white as the betrayal cut deeper than he ever could have imagined.

“Marcus... the man I personally promoted and treated like a brother for over a decade,” Leo whispered in pure disbelief.
