Chapter 8 - Victoria Panics As Federal Net Tightens Fast
Miles away from the mansion, Victoria sat in the back of a luxury town car speeding toward the private airport.
Her expensive diamond earrings sparkled under the cab lights as she nervously checked her encrypted smartphone for updates.
“Why isn't Marcus answering my calls? The flight to Zurich leaves in less than forty minutes!” she snapped at the driver.
“Traffic on the interstate is completely backed up due to a police roadblock ahead, ma'am,” the driver replied cautiously.
Victoria pressed her face against the tinted window, spotting flashing red and blue lights blocking every lane of the highway.
Federal agents and local sheriff deputies were stopping every vehicle matching the description of her private transport.
“Turn around! Take the side service road right now!” Victoria screamed, panic finally shattering her elite composure.
“We can't, ma'am; federal marshals have the entire perimeter surrounded,” the driver said, pulling the car to a halt.
The rear door was yanked open by an armed tactical officer pointing a flashlight directly into her terrified face.

“Step out of the vehicle with your hands where we can see them! You are under arrest!” the officer commanded.
