Chapter 27 - THE MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE
In early November, an unmarked delivery truck pulled up to the security gates of the Greenwich mansion.
Estate guards scanned the package using X-ray equipment, verifying there were no explosives or hazardous materials.
The guard brought the small mahogany wooden box to Marcus’s private study, placing it on the desk.
Marcus opened the box using a silver letter opener, finding a set of old vintage keys and an ivory fountain pen.
Tucked beneath the pen was an old leather journal belonging to his late father, Arthur Vance.
Marcus flipped through the yellowed pages, discovering entries written by his father thirty years ago in Vietnam.
"If Marcus ever reads this journal, it means he has successfully protected the satellite briefcase," one entry read.
"But he must know that the briefcase was only half of the legacy I left hidden across the country."
Marcus’s heart rate quickened as he read his father's cryptic words, realizing another secret lay waiting to be discovered.
