Chapter 11 - The Secret Witness
Federal tactical marshals swarmed the stopped private aircraft.
They kicked open the cabin doors with weapons raised high.
"Federal agents! Do not move! Hands on heads!"
The pilot and three private mercenaries surrendered instantly today.
I forced Daniel Reed's arms behind his back tightly.
Colonel Miller jumped down from chopper, holding heavy cuffs.
He slapped cold steel handcuffs around Daniel's wrists hard.
Daniel groaned in pain, his face pressed on wing.
"Daniel Reed, you are under arrest for high treason."
Colonel Miller declared in a low, cold, lethal voice.
"You are also charged with conspiracy to commit murder."
I stood up slowly, wind blowing my messy hair.
I pulled off my heavy tactical vest, catching breath.
General Vance walked over, examining the captured flight bags.
Inside one leather bag lay stacks of foreign currency.
Beside the cash lay an encrypted military hard drive.
General Vance picked up the black hard drive carefully.
"This contains the master key to Victoria's offshore accounts."
General Vance announced with a satisfying, cold smile today.
"We can recover every single dollar stolen from estate."
"And we have the names of all international buyers."
Daniel Reed spat blood onto the wing, glaring up.
"You think you won, Mara?" Daniel sneered bitterly.
"Victoria didn't act alone in your family's destruction!"
"Your mother's death eight years ago wasn't an illness!"
My chest tightened violently as those words hit me.
My biological mother died eight years ago in hospital.
Doctors said it was a rare neurological disease then.
I always suspected something dark occurred back then.
Now the traitor was confirming my worst personal fears.
"What did you say about my mother?" I growled.

Daniel smirked maliciously, refusing to answer another word.
