Emergency sirens wailed loudly under the stormy night sky.
Bright tactical spotlights illuminated the rain-slicked runway pavement.
Chief Harrison stood near the aircraft stairs holding briefcase.
He wore his rain coat, his face red with.
Two private security guards stood beside him with rifles.
Special Agent Harris of the FBI stepped out vehicle.
Agent Harris raised a megaphone, his voice booming out:
"Arthur Harrison! This is the Federal Bureau Investigation!"
"Drop your weapons and put your hands behind head!"
"Your federal arrest warrant was issued ten minutes ago!"
Harrison looked around frantically at the surrounding tactical teams.
Heavy automatic rifles were trained directly on his chest.
His private security guards dropped their rifles onto pavement.
They raised their hands high, surrendering without firing shot.
"You cowardly fools!" Harrison screamed at his private guards.
He pulled a silver revolver from his coat pocket.

"I created this city! You cannot arrest me!"
Before Harrison could pull the trigger on his gun,
Agent Harris fired a single suppressed shot straight forward.
The round struck Harrison's right shoulder with force.
The silver revolver spun from his hand onto tarmac.
Harrison collapsed onto the wet pavement, groaning in pain.
Federal Marshals rushed forward, tackling him to the ground.
Cold steel handcuffs clicked shut around his thick wrists.

Inside lay stacks of physical gold and passport documents.
"Arthur Harrison, you are under arrest for federal treason."
Agent Harris declared in a cold, stern, firm voice.
"You face life in prison without possibility of parole."
Harrison spat blood onto wet pavement, glaring at camera.
