Chapter 13 - The Attempted Asset Transfer
Federal agents mobilized across state lines within two hours.
Four black tactical SUVs pulled up outside luxury penthouse.
The Manhattan skyscraper glittered under bright city evening lights.
Special Agent Harris led the federal raid team inside.
I rode in the lead transport vehicle wearing vest.
We took the private express elevator to top floor.
The elevator doors opened directly into grand penthouse foyer.
Armed federal marshals rushed through the marble entrance doors.
"FBI! Nobody move! Stay where you are right now!"
Inside the grand living room stood Victoria Blackwood today.
She wore an immaculate silk gown, drinking vintage champagne.
She looked calm, unbothered, and completely cool under pressure.
Two private armed guards stood beside her position fast.
"What is the meaning of this unannounced intrusion?"
Victoria asked in a smooth, aristocratic, cold voice.
Agent Harris held up a federal arrest warrant signed.
"Victoria Blackwood, you are under arrest for federal wire fraud."
"You are also charged with conspiracy to commit murder."
Victoria chuckled softly, setting her champagne glass down slowly.
"You have no proof connecting me to Julian's foolishness."
"Julian and Chloe acted entirely on their own greed."
I stepped forward from behind the armed marshals group.
I held up the black hard drive retrieved safe.
"We recovered your encrypted master ledger, Victoria," I said.
"We have every wire transfer signed with your fingerprint."
"And we have Julian's full written confession from jail."
Victoria's calm, arrogant expression finally cracked at edges.
The color drained from her cheeks within one second.
She realized her multi-million dollar syndicate was finished today.
Her private guards immediately dropped their weapons onto rug.
They raised their hands, surrendering without firing shot.
Federal agents grabbed Victoria's arms behind her back.
Cold steel handcuffs clicked tightly around her thin wrists.
"Get your hands off me, you filthy federal peasants!"
Victoria shrieked hysterically as she was forced down.
