Chapter 2 - The Watch TransmissionThe shoreline of Key West shrank into a distant blue haze as the Aura sliced through the dark ocean waves.

Daniel stood across from me, holding a thick leather folder containing fraudulent corporate transfer agreements.

“Sign it, Arthur,” Daniel sneered, his voice loud enough for the trembling guests to hear. “Once we hit international waters, accidents happen very easily. A sudden wave, a slip over the railing... nobody will ever find the bodies.”

I looked at him with icy composure. “You really think you’re in control, Daniel?”

“I own this boat,” he boasted, tapping his chest. “I control the crew. And I own your daughter’s life.”

“What you don’t know,” I said, lifting my left wrist, “is that this custom watch has been broadcasting a live, uncompressed encrypted audio feed to the United States Coast Guard Sector Key West for the last six minutes.”

Daniel’s smug smile faltered. “What?”

“They heard your demand for forty percent of Quinn Marine,” I continued, my voice echoing across the silent deck. “They heard you confess to trapping Peyton in the cabin. And they heard you threaten to murder my daughter.”

Panicked gasps erupted among the guests!

Daniel’s face flushed with a dark, violent rage. He threw his champagne glass onto the deck, where it shattered into a hundred jagged pieces.

“Grab him!” Daniel roared to his two hired personal bodyguards standing near the helm. “Throw his phone into the ocean! Break the watch!”

Before the thugs could step toward me, a deafening thunder rattled the sky overhead.
