Chapter 5 - The Warehouse
At midnight, I arrived at the warehouse.
Lily wasn't with me.
Daniel didn't know that.
A security team surrounded the building.
I entered alone.
“Daniel!”
His voice echoed.
“You came.”
“Yes.”
“You brought the girl?”
“No.”
Silence.
“You think you're clever.”
“I know I am.”
Lights switched on.
Daniel stood surrounded by armed men.
Behind him was Victor Bellini.
Older.
Thinner.
But alive.
I stared at him.
“You're supposed to be dead.”
He smiled.
“So are you.”
Victor stepped forward.
“Give me the ledger.”
“I don't have it.”
“Then give me the girl.”
“No.”
He laughed.
“You don't even know what she is.”
“My daughter.”
“She is the key to everything your father built.”
I shook my head.
“She is a child.”
“She is an inheritance.”
“Not to me.”
Victor's expression changed.
That answer surprised him.
I continued.
“You want the ledger?”
“Yes.”
“You can have it.”
Daniel looked confused.
I pulled out a flash drive.
“This contains everything.”
Victor smiled.
He reached for it.
Then stopped.
“You wouldn't give it up that easily.”
“No.”
I smiled.
“Because it's fake.”
The doors exploded open.
Federal agents stormed inside.
Daniel reached for his weapon.
He never got the chance.
Victor was arrested.
Daniel was arrested.
And for the first time in thirty years, the Moretti family secrets were exposed.
