Chapter 9 - Raiding The Historic Estate In Georgetown Washington DC
A fleet of five black SUVs sped across the Francis Scott Key Bridge under the heavy cover of early morning fog rising off the river.
The vehicles pulled up along the cobblestone driveway of a massive federalist-style mansion in the heart of historic Georgetown.
Federal agents wearing tactical gear moved quickly across the manicured lawn, surrounding all primary emergency exits of the estate.

He knocked three times loudly with the heavy iron knocker before the door swung open to reveal an elderly butler in a formal suit.
"Federal agents! Stand aside!" Ramirez barked, stepping into the grand marble foyer filled with priceless oil paintings and antique furniture.
Senator Marcus Vance descended the grand sweeping staircase wearing a silk smoking jacket, holding a glass of scotch in his left hand.
"Julian... what is the meaning of this unannounced raid on a sitting United States Senator's private residence?" Marcus asked smoothly.

"Your game is over, Uncle Marcus," Julian declared, stepping forward with his badge displayed prominently on his chest. "Victoria surrendered the ledger."
