Chapter 5 - The Failed Escape
Realizing that his freedom, his luxury lifestyle, and his corporate career were evaporating in a single night, Julian snapped completely.
He shoved the cushions off the sofa, scrambled to his feet, and bolted toward the private foyer elevator, hoping to take the service stairs down to the underground parking garage.
"Get out of my way!" Julian screamed, shoving past Lieutenant Alvarez in a frantic, desperate frenzy.
Before he could reach the elevator control panel, the Grandmother moved with lightning-fast military precision.
She stepped into his path, grabbed his arm in an iron wrist-lock, and executed a swift shoulder throw. Julian slammed face-first onto the cold marble floor, letting out a sharp groan of pain as the air was knocked clean out of his lungs.
Lieutenant Alvarez instantly knelt on his back, pulling his arms behind his crisp white shirt and clicking heavy steel handcuffs shut around his wrists.
"Julian Vance, you are under arrest for felony domestic battery, grand embezzlement, and child trust theft," Lieutenant Alvarez declared into his ear.
The heavy steel elevator doors chimed and slid open, revealing four armed federal agents and two uniformed NYPD officers standing inside.
