Catherine Coulter Fbi Series Mga Nobela at Kwento

CHAPTER ELEVEN *SOPHIA* The arrests started forty-eight hours after we went to the FBI. Catherine was first, led out of her office in handcuffs while cameras rolled. She didn't look at me as they put her in the car. I watched from Isabelle's gallery, feeling nothing. "You okay?" Isabelle asked. "I expected to feel vindicated. I just feel empty." I turned away from the television. "Three executives from Sterling Enterprises were arrested this morning. The DA is talking about RICO charges."

She carried herself with her usual confidence, her mind already racing through tomorrow’s agenda. But just as she reached into her purse for her keys, two people stepped forward from the shadows of the hallway. A tall man in a dark suit, broad shouldered, and a sharp-eyed woman in an identical suit. Their presence was calm, but heavy. The woman spoke first, her tone firm. “Mrs. Blackwood?” Katherina froze, her hand still on her bag. “Yes… who’s asking?” The man held the badge steady. “We’re with the FBI. You are under arrest for the murder of Christina Vale, a reporter with NBC News.”

"Catherine was transferred to a supermax prison last night, but someone tried to break into there to help her out." I was relaxing then I sat up straight saying, "What happened?" "The FBI responded, stopping the suspect(s) from gaining access to the facility, but they found proof of Catherine to be communicating or contacting persons on the outside, connected to Switzerland." The hair stood up on the back of my neck. "Like the facility?" "Perhaps" he said with an unsure face " we think she has people working inside the hospital to keep Adrian from taking your mother," he said while having a concerned look upon his face.

She is a third element. She said nothing for a long moment. She was turning the information over, looking at its edges, trying to understand its weight. Then she said: Colt, Calloway spent his career at the FBI. He knows exactly what federal monitoring looks like and how to stay outside it. If there is a third element and he is connected to it, then the warrant we are waiting for in the morning might not be enough to stop him because a man connected to a network we haven't found yet has options that go beyond what a warrant covers. He looked at her. She looked at him. Then she said the thing she had been trying not to say for the past two hours: I think we need to find the woman with the red

"Plenty of time to enjoy the anticipation." I looked around the park. Dark in every direction. No help coming. No way out. Unless... My phone buzzed with a text. Not from Serena. From Alexander Graves. "GPS tracking on your phone. FBI en route. Keep them talking. - AG" I quickly deleted the message. Eleanor and Victoria hadn't noticed. "Tell me something, Eleanor," I said loudly. "Why did you really kill Catherine Vaughn?" Eleanor frowned. "You know why. She refused to work for me."

Townsend acted as if she had the weight of the world on her shoulders when they had lunch at the country club. Then Catherine’s mind jumped to the murder case. The medical examiner’s testimony flooded back to her. And then Cameron’s former chef’s testimony came back to her. “Oh my god,” she whispered. “What?” Frankie asked as he put down his beer. Then he belched loudly. “I think I might . . . have figured it out.” “Figured what out?” Catherine quickly jumped off the barstool. “Frankie, I have to go but thanks. I’ll let you know what happens.” She quickly turned and left.

Larry asked, and Leah nodded and brought it out of her handbag. Larry wrote We’ll just see about that, leave it to me! Then he handed Leah the notebook, pulled out his badge and ID, and moved swiftly to the intake desk. “Agent Fuller, FBI,” he said tersely. “U.S. Marshal Pete Jenkins was brought in with a gunshot wound. I want to know his condition, and I want to know why his girlfriend” – he pointed to Shannon – “has been left out here by herself with no updates. Now.” In moments, he had the latest information, along with the man’s sincere apology to relay to Shannon. He muttered an abrupt “Thank you, I’ll take her upstairs,” before he pivoted and walked back over to Shannon and Leah.

As long as they didn't interfere with her affairs, whether they stayed or left didn't matter to her. Catherine's skills finally scared Bobby. He stared at Catherine in a panic. His face turned pale. "Do you... know who I am?" Bobby asked. Ten minutes earlier, Catherine had received a dossier containing all of Bobby's information. Hearing that, Catherine slowly lifted her head and raised an eyebrow. She cast a cold gaze at Bobby lying on the ground. "Who you are doesn't concern me. And you're not worthy of knowing who I am." Catherine was dominant, arrogant, defiant, and sinister.

Catherine lasted three days in FBI custody before she disappeared. Not escaped. Disappeared. From a maximum security medical facility with armed guards and surveillance everywhere. Knox brought the news to our hospital room at two AM. "She is gone. No signs of forced entry. No footage of anyone leaving. The guards on duty do not remember anything after midnight. Someone with serious resources just erased her from federal custody." "How is that possible?" Albert demanded, struggling to sit up despite his injuries. "Money. Power. Connections we did not know she had." Knox pulled up security footage on his tablet. "Watch this."

But right now she's just broken and terrified and I can't walk away from that. "You're safe now," I tell her. "You're safe." The lead FBI agent approaches. "Ms. Carter, we need statements from both of you. But medical first. Your sister needs evaluation." "Stepsister," Layla and I say at the same time. The agent almost smiles. "Right. Medical is on the way. And Ms. Carter, we found extensive evidence in the warehouse. Recording equipment, your stolen belongings, detailed plans. This was premeditated stalking with intent to harm. Cole and Chen are facing serious federal charges."
