Chapter 6 - The Federal Raid
The moment the override command executed, the penthouse’s private elevator chimed sharply.
The heavy steel doors slid open, revealing six tactical federal agents wearing dark vests marked with TREASURY / SPECIAL CRIMES, accompanied by four uniformed Chicago police officers.
Leading the team was Special Agent Miller, holding a federal arrest warrant stamped by a district judge.
"Arthur Vance and Luca Vance," Agent Miller announced, his voice reverberating through the spacious penthouse. "You are under arrest for federal racketeering, multi-state wire fraud, tax evasion, and felony domestic assault."
Arthur took three steps back, his knees hitting the sofa as he looked at the uniformed officers with wide, bloodshot eyes.
"This is an outrage! My lawyers will have your badges by morning!" Arthur bellowed, his voice lacking its usual authority as sweat dripped down his grey temples.
"Your lawyers' bank accounts were frozen five minutes ago, Mr. Vance," Agent Miller countered coldly, pulling out heavy steel handcuffs.
Two officers stepped forward, forcing Arthur’s arms behind his sharp tuxedo jacket and clicking the handcuffs firmly around his wrists.
