Detective Steve's voice was laced with a mixture of reason and determination as he stared at Sara Gerald before continuing.“If Sara Gerald steps out, even for a job, it could draw them right to us…and that is exactly what we are trying to avoid at the moment.”Lieutenant Alex leaned forward, his voice low and laced with urgency. “Exactly. Sara Gerald, think about it, just sit down and think about it for a minute or two.”“You're General Carl Gerald's sister. That makes you a prime target for these bastards!”“A tech job sounds harmless, but what if it's a setup? We've seen infiltrations before. Nurse Angela, Doctor Marvin—they were insiders turned bad back at the Elite Divisions Military units secret health facility.”“I would say we keep you close, train you more if needed, but not expose yourself.”Sara Gerald threw her hands up, frustration bubbling over. “Train me more? For what, another warehouse showdown?”“I don't want to live like a soldier! I want coffee runs, deadlines, ma

The situation was intense as everyone stared at Lieutenant Alex expecting him to say something.His legs were already beginning to fidget slowly before immediately spoke up, his voice was a bit quaky as he spoke.“Lieutenant Alex, why the heck would even begin to…think that I would ever betray General Carl Gerald?”“Dude, he is the General Carl Gerald of the Elite Divisions Military units for crying out loud, no one dares betray him and goes against him and wins!”“Why would I even want to go against General Carl Gerald?” Lieutenant Alex asked as he stared at Detective Steve, his face was now etched with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.“Why do you tell us?” Detective Steve immediately replied as he stared askance at Lieutenant Alex.“You were the only one on the Comms through that mission, Mr Eliot couldn't have done it because we took his phone, remember.”“So tell us Lieutenant Alex, did you freaking rat us out to Lord Lex?”“How much did that freaking bastard even pay you to b

“I completely agree with Debra Zachs too, all this banter ain't going to help us win this battle, not to talk of the war with Lord Lex, his Black Triangle Syndicate and White Lotus group.”“We need to focus, that's all we have got at the moment.” Sara Gerald immediately added as she stared at Detective Steve who didn't speak again but just held his hand on his tiny waist.Mrs. Juliet Marcus, the seasoned operative with scars from a dozen missions, stood up slowly, just like General Carl Gerald she had been silent for sometime now, since all this was going on.She slowly but precisely walked over to the place where Lieutenant Alex was standing and placed a hand on Lieutenant Alex's shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze. “Detective Steve, I actually believe from the very moment that you began the argument that Lieutenant Alex right here isn't responsible for any confidential breach of any kind…”“Look at him, this man had done nothing but give his whole being for this mission, Detective S

“Gentlemen, relax, we are pulling up the logs now…”“If Lieutenant Alex is as guilty as Detective Steve had accused him of, we will definitely be seeing it on the backup logs.. even if he tried to delete the main logs of the communication device.” Debra Zachs said as she stared at Detective Steve and Lieutenant Alex who were just staring at each other intensely.Moments later, the argument dragged on, voices overlapping in the tense room. Sara Gerald turned to Lieutenant Alex. “Ignore Detective Steve for now. Tell us what happened on your end. Walk us through the comms. Maybe we missed something.” Sara Gerald's voice was laced with a mixture of reason and emotions as she stared at Lieutenant Alex.Deep down she already knew that Lieutenant Alex was completely not guilty of what he was being accused of right now.Lieutenant Alex took a deep breath, steadying himself. “Okay. We were set up outside the warehouse. I had eyes on the perimeter feeds.”“Everything was quiet and going grand a

“This is really messed up at the moment, without eyes on any available Black Triangle Syndicate groups safehouses, how do we even begin to look for Lord Lex?!”“Dang it!”“That b*stard is most likely long gone at the moment!”“I don't see us finding Lord Lex any time soon, he is probably long, that is if he hasn't left the country at the moment!”“This is so frustrating and disappointing!” Sara Gerald immediately said as she plopped down into a black arm chair just behind her.Mrs. Juliet Marcuss stared at her and held her by her shoulder before adding, “Sara Gerald it's going to be alright, we are definitely going to get through these hard times together like we always do.”“I know I haven't had my own fair share of Lex's family troubles like yourself and Debra Zachs, you two have actually been kidnapped many times but I haven't.”“Nevertheless, I still understand…to some extent what it is that you are passing through at the moment.”“I actually do share your pain and I completely un
