“My father died keeping these records safe from you, Leonard,” I said, stepping out from behind Russell’s shoulder with the binders held firmly in my arms.

“And I would rather burn this whole building to the ground than let you take them back.”

Before Leonard could take another threatening step forward, two blinding spotlights flooded through the doorway behind him.

“Federal agents!

Put your hands in the air and do not move!” a booming voice commanded through a megaphone.

Four armed tactical officers rushed through the doorway and pinned Leonard against the stone wall before he could even try to reach into his coat.

Behind the officers walked Walter Callahan, leaning heavily on his wooden cane, with Douglas and two federal prosecutors.
