Chapter 9 - The Cartel Connection
Agent Carter explained the true nature of the sixty eight million dollars.
Half of that money belonged to a highly dangerous international drug cartel.
Christopher had been laundering dirty cash for them through our corporate shipping lanes.
By hacking the accounts and moving the money, Luke had unknowingly stolen from ruthless killers.
The agent warned us that the cartel would stop at nothing to get their missing millions back.
My heart froze as I realized the danger was far from over.
I looked at my son, but Luke simply adjusted his glasses with a calm smile.
Luke told the FBI agent that he already knew about the cartel connection.
He explained that he did not just return the money to our company accounts.
He had automatically forwarded the cartel's entire banking ledger directly to the DEA.
He also sent the exact GPS coordinates of their hidden warehouses to Interpol.
Agent Carter stared at my eighteen year old son in absolute disbelief.
His phone suddenly buzzed with an urgent message from federal headquarters.
The agent read the screen and let out a long, heavy breath of relief.
He confirmed that federal tactical teams were already raiding the cartel locations worldwide.
The threat had been completely neutralized before it even had a chance to reach us.
Christopher was dragged past us, looking like a broken, pathetic shadow of a man.

I looked him in the eye one last time and told him I wanted a divorce.
The police hauled him into the back of a squad car, driving him away into the night.
