Chapter 14 — Federal Government Jump Scare
The crane collapsed into the harbor with enough noise to financially damage the city.
Everyone hit the water.
Somehow—
nobody died.
Which honestly felt unrealistic at this point.
Then sirens exploded across the harbor.
Police cars.
FBI SUVs.
Helicopters overhead.
Floodlights blasted across the rain.
Federal agents stormed the docks dramatically like they’d been waiting all night for cinematic timing.
Mia coughed up harbor water and looked at Jake suspiciously.
“…why do you look calm?”
Jake blinked innocently.
“What?”
Aria narrowed her eyes immediately.
“You did something.”
Jake sighed dramatically.
“Okay technically…”
Pause.
“I anonymously tipped off the FBI earlier.”
Silence.
Mia stared at him in disbelief.
“You contacted federal agents…”
Another pause.
“…and STILL almost killed us with a crane?”
Jake considered that carefully.
“Multitasking.”
Mia pointed at him aggressively.
“You are not allowed to use the word multitasking ever again.”
Nearby, FBI agents dragged Mercer out of a wrecked SUV in handcuffs.
For the first time all night—
the billionaire supervillain looked emotionally inconvenienced.
Honestly?
Huge personal victory.
