Chapter 19 - Making The Utimate Choice Between Family And Duty
Julian stood frozen in the thick white smoke as tactical officers burst through the front entrance with weapons raised.
He looked at his legendary grandfather standing on the deck of the fast tactical boat, offering him ultimate global power and wealth.
Then his mind flashed to ten-year-old Lily back at the hospital, her innocent hazel eyes trusting him to keep her safe from corruption.
"I am a federal officer, Grandfather," Julian declared firmly, raising his weapon and pointing it at the tactical boat's engine block. "Your empire ends tonight!"
Arthur Sr.’s expression filled with a mixture of profound disappointment and tragic respect as he stepped onto the moving vessel.
"Then God help you and Lily in the storm that is coming, my boy," the old patriarch called out over the roar of the engines.
Julian fired three rounds into the boat's stern, but the tactical craft rocketed out onto the dark, foggy waters of the Potomac River at full speed.
Federal agents rushed past Julian, firing into the darkness, but the boat vanished into the thick river mist within seconds.
