Chapter 16 - The Last ShadowThe family gathered in the library.
Agent Harris was called immediately.
He studied the photograph.
"This man is Vincent Hale."
Arthur frowned.
"Who?"
"Former Rossi financial adviser."
Harris explained that Hale had disappeared shortly before Dante's arrest.
He had access to everything.
Every account.
Every secret.
Every illegal transaction.
If Dante had been the architect, Hale might have been the person who knew where all the bodies were buried.
Khloe felt the old fear return.
But something was different now.
She wasn't alone.
She looked at Marcus.
Then Arthur.
Then Leo, playing quietly nearby.
"We don't run," she said.
Marcus nodded.
"No."
"We don't hide."

Arthur's eyes hardened.
"We finish it."
