Chapter 7 - The Airport Ambush
Theodore didn't call his lawyers to cry. He dialed a direct line to his private security director and the federal authorities.
"I have absolute proof of massive corporate espionage and grand larceny," Theodore commanded flawlessly into the phone, his voice echoing with lethal authority across the empty ballroom. "Track Cassandra's private jet. Ground it immediately. I want her and the CFO in handcuffs before they leave the tarmac."
Exactly thirty minutes later, at the city's private luxury airport, Cassandra was confidently walking up the steps to her chartered Gulfstream jet.
She was wearing expensive designer travel clothes, sipping champagne, completely thrilled with her massive, forty-million-dollar heist. Her father and the corrupt CFO were already on board, celebrating the absolute destruction of Theodore's empire.
But the heavy doors of the private hangar violently swung open.
A dozen heavily armed federal agents, flanked by heavily armored tactical vehicles, swarmed the tarmac, completely cutting off the jet's exit.
"Cassandra Hayes!" the lead federal agent barked through a megaphone, shining a massive spotlight directly into her terrified face. "Step away from the aircraft immediately! You are under arrest for grand larceny, massive corporate espionage, and federal wire fraud!"
