Chapter 9 - The Ghost's Vengeance
From the top of the grand sweeping staircase, a tall man in a dark trench coat walked down through the red emergency lights.
Julian's eyes nearly bulged out of his head as he recognized the man.

"You look like you've seen a ghost, Julian," Marcus said coldly, holding up a thick leather binder packed with bank ledgers and medical forging records.
"Marcus?! You're dead!" Julian shrieked, stumbling backward against the marble pillar.
"I spent five years in hiding working with federal investigators to track every dollar you laundered through Clara's fake medical accounts," Marcus declared. "The arrest warrants for you and your associates were signed by a federal judge an hour ago."
