Chapter 4 - The Betrayal
The federal agents commanded Derek to drop his weapon immediately.
Derek panicked and grabbed my grandmother by her silver dress.
He pulled the elderly woman against his chest and held the gun to her head.
The agents froze and lowered their rifles to avoid a hostage situation.
I dropped the gold pen and begged Derek to let her go.
Briana screamed at Derek to take her instead of our grandmother.
Derek sneered and said Briana was useless to him now.
He told the agents that he would shoot Beatrice if they did not provide a getaway car.
Marcus fell to his knees and sobbed uncontrollably.
He confessed to the agents that he had forced Derek into the money laundering scheme.
He thought his confession would make Derek show mercy.
Derek just laughed and called my father a pathetic liar.
Derek revealed that Marcus was not the mastermind behind the criminal operation.
My father was just a desperate pawn taking orders from someone else in the family.
Derek looked down at the fragile woman he was holding hostage.
He asked Beatrice if she wanted to tell the truth before he pulled the trigger.
My grandmother suddenly stopped trembling.

She stood up perfectly straight and smoothly disarmed Derek with a swift strike to his wrist.
Beatrice picked up the fallen revolver and pointed it at the federal agents.
