Chapter 15 - Detective Ortiz Arrives To Investigate The Fraud Attempt
Back at the Westchester estate, Detective Lena Ortiz of the financial crimes division stepped through the front entrance.
She placed her leather portfolio on the foyer table, greeting Richard and Ethan with a professional, serious nod.
“We intercepted an encrypted communication between Sophia and an international operative named Viktor,” Detective Ortiz announced.
“She’s planning to meet him at Pier 42 in Brooklyn tonight to trade estate security files for an escape ticket,” Ethan added grimly.
“That meeting is a trap, Mr. Cole. The syndicate intends to silence her permanently once she hands over the data,” Ortiz warned.
“Can we use her desperation to roll up the entire domestic cell of the syndicate?” Richard asked calmly.

“We can, Mr. Whitmore. But it means setting a federal sting operation right in the middle of Brooklyn tonight,” Ortiz confirmed.
Ethan clenched his fists, knowing this was his chance to redeem himself and protect his family from the monsters he invited in.
