"Shut your mouth!" Julian screamed, reaching into his coat pocket as if to pull a weapon, but two of Vincent’s guards instantly pinned his arms against the wall with ruthless efficiency.
Vincent turned his gaze back to Elena, his sharp features tight with intense focus. "Where is the flash drive, Elena?"
Elena reached into the pocket of her black maid skirt, pulling out a small, silver encrypted memory stick that had been hidden inside the lining of her apron.

Julian throngs against the guards' grip, his eyes wild with desperation. "She’s lying! That drive is encrypted! Nobody can access those files without my biometric password!"
Vincent reached out and calmly took the silver drive from Elena’s trembling hand, turning it over between his fingers.
