Chapter 30 - The Unopened Delivery
At nine o'clock that evening, after Chloe had fallen fast asleep in her upstairs bedroom, a knock sounded at the door[cite: 7].
Marcus walked to the front foyer, opening the heavy oak door to find the porch completely empty[cite: 7].
Resting on the welcome mat was a sleek black courier envelope stamped with a red classified security seal[cite: 7].
Marcus picked up the envelope, stepping back inside and opening it under the entry hall light[cite: 7].
Inside was a high-resolution surveillance photograph of Vivian's maximum-security cell at ADX Florence[cite: 7].
The steel cell door was completely blown off its hinges, and the room was entirely empty[cite: 7].
Taped to the back of the photograph was a handwritten note in dark red ink:[cite: 7]
