Chapter 7 - William Tries To Escape Through The Private Sacristy Doors
Driven by animalistic panic and the suffocating realization of a life sentence behind bars, William made a reckless, desperate gamble. In a sudden burst of frantic energy, he shoved violently past the federal agent on his left and bolted toward the private wooden sacristy doors. Those doors led to the old rectory hallway and out toward the private rear parking lot behind the church.
"Stop right there! Federal agent!" a voice shouted behind him as boots slammed against the wooden floorboards.

William wrenched the brass door handle downward, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. But before he could pull the heavy oak panel open to freedom, a massive tactical agent tackled him hard. The force of the impact drove the wind out of William's lungs with a loud, painful gasp, sending him crashing face-first into the hardwood floorboards.
Strong hands pinned his arms behind his back, pressing his cheek roughly against the dust and polished wood. His custom navy blue tuxedo was stained and ruined, mirroring the total destruction of his corporate reputation.
