Chapter 13

The following evening, at precisely 7:50 pm, he arrived at the Vitali compound.

Ten minutes too early, he noted, glancing at his watch.

But, punctuality was always his game.

Upon initial arrival, the compound was restrictive rather than welcoming.

Beyond it, however, the estate offered explicit beauty.

Brows furrowed in thought, he slowed before stopping on the drive.

Staring straight ahead, he waited for check-in.

The imposing black wrought iron gate stood past fifteen feet and each single railing was spiked with piercing arrows at the very top. Not only that, it was electrical and sizzled with extremely high voltage. To no surprise, security cameras were mounted and angled at various positions.

On the right, really close to the entry point, a guard house was positioned and occupied by not one, but three heavily armed guards. One waited on the inside while the other two posted positions on each side of the small house. They were dressed in black tactical gear and black combat boots. Semi-automatic assault weapons hang along their shoulders by the straps. At this evening hour, they wore night vision goggles and black tactical head wear. Their features were expressionless simply because they operated as cold and unfeeling creatures.

But, something was definitely up, he decided, watching as two of the guards approached the Bugatti and stepped into the path of its beaming headlights. A clear indication of it was the extra armed men.

Stiff, robotic like, the guards took opposite positions by the car---one on the driver’s side while the other on the passenger’s. The security lights kicked on and illuminated the inside of the vehicle.

“What the----” he cursed violently, throwing an arm up, and shielded his eyes from the blinding white light. When the armed guard tapped the driver’s side window, he turned and snapped at him through the glass. “Turn that damn thing off!”

“It’s Jameson,” the guard acknowledged, speaking to the other guard across the way, and stepped back promptly. Raising his shoulder slightly, the armed guard spoke into the mouthpiece, and his gaze went to the booth. He gave the inside guard a subtle nod. “Pops is expecting him. He’s clear to go in.”

The wide gate swung open just as the security lights shut off.

Fuming, cursing, he shifted into drive and sped away.

Light illuminated the pathway and the estate ahead.

The bewitching sight was literally breathtaking.

As always, he admired and appreciated the estate’s beauty.

The estate stretched for nearly over 1500 acres and valued at an estimated $119.3 million. Dead center of the property, a seven story gray-stone mansion stood and was surrounded by patches of perfectly grouped Cypress trees. An exquisitely sculptured 10’ statue was the central and focal piece before the massive-sized house, and it was boxed in with a rectangular concrete structure. The statue was a gold-plated nude woman, and it struck a risqué pose. Rather than being crystalline clear, the streaming water resembled liquid gold and spouted from the woman’s private parts. The gold basin caught the falling water and amidst it, white floating lilies danced along the pooling streams.

Apart from the grand seven-story mansion, the compound accommodated many luxurious and lucrative things.
