Chapter 6 - The Iron Vault
Silvio listened to the police scanner, realizing Grant had successfully framed him for kidnapping the children.
Every police officer in the city was now hunting him under the guise of an amber alert.
He knew he could not escape the city limits with the heavily militarized blockades now in place.
Their only option was to go straight into the belly of the beast and secure the original will.
Silvio drove the stolen SUV to the rear service entrance of Grant’s towering corporate headquarters.
He knew Grant kept a private, highly illegal vault on the fiftieth floor for his undocumented assets.
Silvio handed the stolen pistol to Ethan, telling the brave boy to only use it if absolutely necessary.
They slipped past the distracted loading dock guards and entered the private executive elevator.
Silvio used a security keycard he had taken from Marcus’s unconscious body to override the biometric scanner.
The elevator shot upward at a dizzying speed, stopping smoothly on the heavily fortified fiftieth floor.
The hallway was eerily silent, lined with expensive modern art and cold marble flooring.
Silvio led the children to the master office, kicking the heavy oak doors open with a thunderous crash.
He moved toward the hidden wall safe behind the massive painting, inputting the family emergency code.
The heavy steel door clicked open, revealing stacks of bearer bonds and several thick leather folders.
Silvio frantically searched through the documents until he found the original, unalterable version of the inheritance will.
He stuffed the vital documents into his jacket, finally holding the absolute proof of Grant’s massive fraud.
Suddenly, the heavy oak doors of the office violently slammed shut, and the electronic locks engaged with a sharp beep.
A cold, synthetic voice echoed from the hidden security speakers embedded in the ceiling.

Grant cheerfully welcomed Silvio to the office and informed him that the room was completely airtight.
The ventilation system abruptly shut off, and a faint hissing sound indicated that the oxygen was being rapidly pumped out.
