The automatic electronic deadbolts on the estate’s grand mahogany front doors clicked shut from the outside with a sharp, heavy hydraulic screech that echoed through the parlor like a cell door locking shut in a tomb.

"The immunity block was voided at the opening bell this morning, Mr. Croft," Special Agent Harris from the FBI’s Public Corruption Division announced, stepping through the shattered glass entryway of the west wing corridor with a full platoon of twenty heavily armed tactical operators whose rifle barrels were raised and rock-steady. Her gold federal badge glinted beneath the chandelier lights as her field units formed an airtight tactical perimeter around the dining table.
"Daniel Reynolds, you are under arrest for capital bank fraud, international wire manipulation, identity theft, and systematic concealment of infrastructure assets under the RICO statutes," Agent Harris bellowed, her voice carrying an absolute, inescapable federal authority that stripped away his remaining social armor.
