Chapter 4 - The Sealed Federal Warrant
Three miles away, black tactical SUVs sped fast.
Their emergency strobe lights flashed through grapevines.
Special Agent Mara Voss sat in the lead.
She wore full FBI tactical armor and helmet.
She checked the magazine clip of her sidearm.
Beside her rested a sealed federal warrant folder.
The warrant bore the seal of Department Justice.
It named Victoria, Celeste, and Evan Bellacourt today.
They were charged with federal fraud and laundering.
For six months, I gathered physical bank evidence.
I tracked thirty million dollars in stolen relief.
The funds were used to buy the vineyard.
The funds paid for Celeste's luxurious wedding gown.
"Agent Voss, team one is at the gates!"
The driver reported, accelerating down the paved road.
"Breach the main vineyard entrance immediately," Mara.
"Primary target is securing the pregnant federal agent."
"Secondary target is arresting all named family members."
Back inside the restroom, the air felt suffocating.
I dragged my body toward the marble sink.
I pulled a paper towel to wipe face.
My pink maternity gown was stained with sweat.
I looked at myself in the large mirror.
My hazel eyes were filled with fierce determination.
I was not just a victim in pink.
I was the agent who brought them down.
