11:30 PMChief Sandra was still in her officeThe station had gone quiet hours agoMost officers had gone home.But she was still awake, she was still working, still fixing problems A stack of documents sat on her deskThe Shipment logs, digital files that was exported hours ago Those were evidence, now Raina has them Detective Raina had already exported the shipment logs from the systemSandra knew that.And Sandra also knew something else.Raina was smart, give her the right data and she would build a full case.Drug routes, delivery trucks, shell companies, everything.She could let that happenSandra had worked with the Don for years. Covering his operations from the authorities He was due for a release by morning, owning to the fact that there was no evidence only an audio record of Kendra voice That couldn’t prove he was guilty for drug trafficking?Where was the location for the illegal drugs operation?None was foundHis house was searched, nothing So far, he was innocen

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded “We can’t-““Don’t say it” Valen tightened his grip on the phone “I hate that word” If there was one thing he hated most was that words and things not going as planned Apparently the both were happening at the same time Capturing Leon Draven was looking like an impossible tasks suddenly The teenage boy of five years ago, the same one who couldn’t even fight to save his life He was nothing like his father, soft and loverboySo drunk in love that his ex fiancé had planned to kill him and his family for six months but he never knew Leon’s sister on the other hand, had always been the best, Lena Draven Corey Draven poured in a lot into her, taught her how to use a gun, fight, anything and everything he knew but Lena short lived, drowning to deathTo his son Leon, Corey was mild with him. He never pressured him He certainly never prepared Leon to be part of the council someday In fact, he didn’t want that life for himHe wanted Leon

The parking lot outside the police station felt quiet It was the dead of the night and the city was still asleep Chief Sandra stepped out from unit 9 and out of the building slowlyHer heels clicked against the concrete as the sound echoed A few police cars were parked nearbyTwo officers stood beside one of themThey stopped talking when they saw her“Morning Chief” they said respectfully unison as they halt and salute Sandra had not noticed it was a new day already She faked a smile “Morning officers, how is it going?”They stood at ease “Good” one said and the other nodded his head at her Sandra nodded the both of them Inside the building, things had felt wrong tooThe hallway had been silentDoctors walked past like nothing had happenedNurses kept their heads down, no panic, no questions No one even mentioned the dead man upstairsTerry Ferdinand-The DonThat made it the second suspect dead in police custody in just one month And worst they were related to one case Sa

The kitchen lights were on, the lights were bright enough Raina Elbert stood far from the kitchen counter Her gun was still raised aimed directly at Leon The man who she didn’t know who he really was Leon stood there, his shirt hung open with the bullet wound visible Blood soaked the fabric of his shirt and it dripped slowly from his sleeve to the floor.
