Dante and Simon had been staking out the house of federal court judge, Anton Kolas, for 2 days now, watching the comings and goings and checking out his security set up. The house has a security gate, cameras on the exterior and a high end security system installed inside the house. By lunchtime the first day, Simon had access to the cameras and he had just finished hacking the security company’s database to get David’s security codes and protocols. The lights had gone out in the home an hour and half ago and Dante was ready to go. Simon put the security cameras into a loop of pre recorded footage and Dante quickly made his way over the wall surrounding the property and headed straight to the detached garage. The garage is attached to the house by a long breezeway and also had an independant security system that Simon was now controlling. Dante made quick work of the lock on the door and moved inside where he donned his night vision goggles.
While a federal judge makes a decent salary, it is certainly not the kind of money to support the 5 vehicles sitting in a nice shiny row in front of him. The judge’s wife doesn’t work and neither of the couple brought any notable assets to the marriage. Who needs 5 vehicles anyway Dante thought but quickly shook that thought out of his head and went to work. There is only the judge and his wife living in the house, their chef arrives in the morning every day in her own vehicle. The wife always drives her Mercedes convertible and the judge would alternate between taking the Bently and the Lexus to the courthouse. But on Friday’s, he always takes the Bentley. It might be because he likes the vehicle, but they suspected it was more to impress his mistress who he had a long standing lunch appointment with every Friday. The Ferrari and Mclaren were only used on special occasions.
Dante went to the Bentley and got in on the driver’s side. He placed the latex gloves he brought with him on his hands and pulled the vial out of his pocket. Very carefully, he pulled the stopper out of the bottle and placed several drops on the steering wheel and then carefully spread the liquid over the entire steering wheel. Judge Kolas has diabetes and the liquid is a highly concentrated synthetic insulin that Simon had in storage at the farm. Dante didn’t ask how or why, he just finished spreading the material on the wheel and once he was finished, he carefully resealed the vial and placed it and the gloves into the bag he had brought with him. On his way to the door, he fought the urge to key all 5 of the vehicles, but he knew soon enough, the judge would have his own sentencing. In this case, there is only one sentence for the judge and that is the death penalty.
