Chapter 9 - The Federal Gavel of Justice
I stepped forward, connecting my encrypted drive to the boardroom’s master presentation terminal.
The four eighty-inch high-definition monitors along the walls flickered to life.
Displayed in crystal-clear detail was the complete evidence package:
The Poison Procurement: Certified shipping logs proving Dante Moretti purchased 500mg of pharmaceutical-grade Aconitine from Apex Bio-Logistics seventy-two hours prior.
The Wiretapped Confession: The audio recording of Moretti ordering his strike team to execute Adrian and kidnap ten-year-old Toby from Mount Sinai.
The Financial Kickbacks: Banking records showing $5 million wired to Vincent Rizzo’s Swiss accounts from Moretti’s shell entities.
The boardroom erupted into an uproar of absolute outrage and revulsion.
Senior Special Agent Marcus Vance of the FBI stepped onto the dais, holding unsealed federal warrants.
“Dante Moretti,” Agent Vance announced loudly. “You are under arrest for Attempted Capital Murder, Conspiracy to Use a Chemical Weapon, Interstate Racketeering under the RICO Act, and Grand Corporate Treason.”
Two federal marshals pinned Moretti face-down onto the marble table, clicking heavy steel handcuffs around his wrists as he screamed in pathetic, frantic terror.
“Adrian! Please!” Moretti wailed, his face pressed against the stone. “We were partners! We can settle this!”

Adrian looked down at the disgraced kingpin with cold, absolute finality.
“We are settled, Dante,” Adrian said softly. “You just received your bill.”
