Chapter 9 - Security Forces Lock Down The Entire Manhattan Skyscraper
As Victoria was escorted away in handcuffs, the smart-home control panels throughout the penthouse flashed crimson.

Special agents in tactical gear secured the perimeter entrances, preparing to execute coordinated raids across the city.
