Chapter 13 - Interrogating the captured mercenary leader inside a secure basement vault to expose the foreign cartel mastermind behind everything today.
In the mansion's reinforced basement vault, the lead mercenary sat zip-tied to a heavy steel chair under bright overhead fluorescent lights.
Daniel stood over him, holding the mercenary's encrypted tactical radio and a satellite phone recovered from his combat vest.
"Who paid you to breach my home tonight?" Daniel asked, his voice low, steady, and filled with implicit, terrifying promise.

Clara walked in, holding a tablet showing real-time digital tracking data linked to the mercenary's satellite phone signal.
"His phone was pinging a private yacht registered to Victor Rostov... a Russian oligarch wanted by Interpol," Clara revealed.
The mercenary's confident expression collapsed instantly as he realized Clara had completely exposed his employer's identity within minutes.

"Rostov doesn't leave witnesses, my friend; you just signed your own death warrant," Daniel noted, handing the phone to federal marshals.
