Chapter 15 - THE RAID ON VANCE HOLDINGS
At ten o'clock that evening, four unmarked FBI vehicles pulled up outside Vance Holdings in Brooklyn.
Ethan stood alongside Special Agent Davis as tactical officers secured the perimeter of the brick warehouse.
"We have a federal warrant for wire fraud, corporate sabotage, and illegal surveillance," Agent Davis declared.
Officers slammed a hydraulic ram into the metal doors, busting them open with a loud metallic crash.
Inside, Richard Vance and three computer hackers were caught red-handed surrounded by server racks and monitors.
"Hands on your heads! Federal agents!" officers shouted, weapons drawn as they swarmed the facility.
Vance dropped his tablet computer, trembling as heavy steel handcuffs clicked shut around his wrists.
Agent Davis retrieved a black hard drive containing the original biometrics recorded from Ethan's home.
"You're finished, Vance. And so is Marcus Miller," Ethan said coldly, looking down at the disgraced fixer.
