Chapter 7 - The Final Trap
My grandfather slowly lowered the phone from his ear with a trembling hand.
He looked at me with a completely shattered expression that made my blood instantly run cold.
I frantically asked him what was wrong and who had just called him so early in the morning.
He softly explained that his massive bank in Switzerland had just experienced a total security breach.
The caller was not his trusted financial advisor, but my arrogant father calling from a burner phone.
My parents had used the chaos of the plane crash as the perfect distraction for their final move.
They had successfully bypassed the frozen accounts using my grandfather's highly classified personal security codes.
They had completely drained his entire multi-billion dollar empire in a matter of seconds.
My father had maliciously called just to gloat that they were now completely untouchable.
Vanessa violently laughed from the back of the police cruiser where she was currently handcuffed.
She cruelly shouted that our parents had absolutely always been ten steps ahead of everyone else.
Liam aggressively gripped my hand and firmly stated that they could not possibly hide that amount of money so fast.
Detective Miller quickly pulled his police radio to contact federal authorities for an international wire block.
He suddenly stopped and looked down at his radio in complete confusion.
The digital screen on his police radio was completely dead and fully unresponsive.
My grandfather quickly checked his own phone and realized he had zero signal whatsoever.
A massive, heavy black SUV suddenly pulled up right next to our wrecked plane on the icy tarmac.
Four heavily armed mercenaries stepped out of the vehicle wearing completely black tactical gear.
They did not look like local police officers or helpful federal agents.
One of the terrifying men raised a heavy assault rifle and aimed it directly at Detective Miller's chest.
He coldly ordered the detective to drop his weapon and kick it far away into the snow.
The man aggressively demanded that Liam hand over the manila envelope containing the evidence.
My parents had clearly used their newly stolen billions to instantly hire a ruthless private army.
They wanted to completely tie up the loose ends and ensure nobody could ever bring them to justice.

Liam slowly reached into his heavy jacket like he was going to surrender the envelope to the armed men.
Instead, he quickly pulled a hidden smoke grenade and violently threw it directly at their feet.
