Chapter 6 - The Confession on Tape

Inside the van, we watched and listened as Victoria and Marcus finalized their plot.

"The flight is booked for 6:00 AM," Marcus said, laying out a stack of forged passports on my dining room table. "We grab the boys at 4:00. The wire transfer hits the Zurich account at midnight. By the time Sterling lands in Chicago, he'll be a broke, single man."

"What about the police investigation with the nanny?" Victoria asked, pacing the room.

Marcus scoffed. "Who cares? Let her rot in jail for stealing your watches. It's the perfect distraction. Sterling will be so busy dealing with the fallout of his reputation that he won't even realize we're gone until we're in European airspace."

Agent Harris typed furiously on his keyboard. "We have them on federal conspiracy, wire fraud, attempted kidnapping, and filing a false police report. Mr. Sterling, give the word."

I looked at the screen, watching the woman I once loved plot to steal my children.

"Let the wire transfer initiate," I said coldly. "I want them caught red-handed with the digital footprint."
