Chapter 7 - The Empty Vaults
"We have to run!" Serena cried, grabbing Dominic’s arm, acting the part of the terrified girlfriend perfectly.
Dominic didn't move. He casually pulled his arm away from her grasp. "We don't need to run, Serena. My men are exactly where they need to be."
Outside, the raid was turning into a complete, catastrophic disaster.
The federal agents, relying entirely on the altered map Serena had left in the dead drop, stormed the rooms marked as armories—only to find them completely empty, sealed off, and rigged with blinding strobe lights and tear gas. When they tried to access the vault holding the syndicate's financial ledgers using Serena's provided codes, the safes locked down permanently, triggering a silent alarm that instantly wiped the hard drives.
Within ten minutes, the entire federal strike team was completely trapped, disoriented, and surrounded by Dominic’s heavily armed guards, without a single shot being fired. They had absolutely zero evidence, and they were trespassing on private property.

Serena stopped breathing. The color violently drained from her face. She looked at Dominic, the realization dawning on her.
