Chapter 19 - The Final Showdown On The Manhattan Skyscraper Roof
Three weeks later, federal authorities tracked Robert Vance’s private helicopter to an abandoned industrial rooftop in Brooklyn.
Lucas—fully recovered and walking with a slight limp—accompanied Agent Miller and a tactical team to the location.
Robert Vance stood near the edge of the helipad, holding a encrypted satellite phone as rotor blades idled nearby.
“It’s over, Robert! Your offshore accounts are frozen, and your co-conspirators are in federal custody!” Lucas shouted over the wind.
Robert turned around, a manic smile on his face as he aimed a small detonator toward the downtown Manhattan skyline.
“If I can’t control the empire, nobody will!” Robert screamed, preparing to trigger the municipal server grid shutdown.
Lucas lunged forward with incredible speed, tackling Robert to the concrete landing pad before he could press the button.
Federal agents swarmed the rooftop instantly, wrestling the detonator away and snapping steel handcuffs around Robert’s wrists.
