Chapter 8 - The Federal DragnetThe ballroom doors suddenly exploded open.

Federal agents entered.
Dark tactical vests.
Badges.
Weapons secured at their sides.
The guests scattered backward.
Special Agent Marcus Vance stepped forward.
“Caroline Vance.”
Caroline turned.
“No.”
“You are under federal arrest.”
Her knees nearly gave out.
“For wire fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, conspiracy, and attempted murder.”
The ballroom became chaos.
Cameras appeared everywhere.
Guests whispered.
Reporters outside began shouting questions.
Caroline stared at Elena.
“You.”
Elena removed her security badge.
Then her jacket.
Underneath was a federal identification credential.
Caroline's face went completely white.
“You were never security.”
“No.”
“Who are you?”
Elena looked directly into her eyes.
May you like
“Special Agent Elena Vance.”
The trap had finally closed.
