Chapter 7 - Handcuffs and Sirens

The heavy door of the black luxury SUV slammed shut.
Grant rushed toward the vehicle, pounding his fists against the tinted bulletproof glass, screaming his wife’s name. The SUV smoothly accelerated, pulling away from the private jet and leaving Grant and Sabrina standing alone on the vast, empty tarmac.
Within exactly five minutes, the deafening wail of multiple sirens pierced the quiet airport air.
Three black, unmarked federal vehicles and two local police cruisers breached the security gates, speeding directly toward the grounded Gulfstream jet.
"Grant... oh my god," Sabrina whimpered, dropping her small black designer handbag as the vehicles surrounded them. "They're really here."
Armed federal agents stepped out of the vehicles, marching purposefully toward the terrified couple. The executives, who had disembarked from the plane, stood nearby in stunned silence, watching the former CEO face his absolute destruction.
"Grant Whitmore," the lead agent announced, flashing a badge. "You are under arrest for grand corporate embezzlement, wire fraud, and federal tax evasion. Place your hands behind your back."
Grant didn't fight. He was completely broken. He lowered his head in utter humiliation as the cold, heavy steel handcuffs were snapped tightly over the cuffs of his expensive white dress shirt.
"Sabrina Cole," another agent said, stepping toward the weeping blonde. "You are under arrest as an accessory to federal wire fraud."
"I didn't do anything! He gave me the money!" Sabrina shrieked hysterically, thrashing wildly as the agents restrained her, entirely ruining her expensive champagne satin dress.
They were shoved into the back of separate federal vehicles. As the convoy drove away, the executives immediately began dialing their brokers and lawyers, frantically trying to secure their own positions under the new, terrifyingly efficient regime of Claire Whitmore.
