DEADLY SECRETS UNVEILED

Chapter 6

Unmasking The Conspiracy

Inside the solid safe house, Detective Vanilla Lawson, Agent Michael Stevens, and Lucy Bennett crouched around a PC screen showing Dr. Richard Bennett's pivotal research. The disclosure that the infection had been designed as a weapon had sent shockwaves through their Investigation.

Vanilla talked with a need to get going, "This research is a unique advantage, but on the other hand it's a ticking delayed bomb. We want to sort out who's behind this and why."

Agent Stevens nodded in understanding. "Presently also, we can't confide in anybody. Our foes are strong and very much associated."

Lucy, her eyes loaded up earnestly, tolled in, "My dad probably realized he was at serious risk. He mentioned somebody was watching him. We really want to figure out what that identity was."

Vanilla got to the PC's inquiry history, searching for any hints that Dr. Bennett could have abandoned. As she looked at the information, she coincidentally found a connection to a news article from a couple of years prior.

"Take a look at this," Vanilla said, her voice touched with incredulity. "Dr. Bennett was an informant. He uncovered a drug organization for unlawfully testing trial drugs on clueless patients."

Agent Stevens leaned nearer, his temple wrinkling. "That might have made him a ton of foes. Individuals in strong positions who wanted to silence him."

Lucy added, "And assuming they were able to test perilous medications on individuals, what else would they say they are able to do?"

Vanilla's telephone hummed, intruding on their discussion. It was an instant message from an obstructed number. It read, "You're getting excessively close. Quit digging."

The room fell quiet as the ramifications sank in. They were being cautioned off, and their foes knew about everything they might do.

Agent Stevens gripped his jaw. "We can't withdraw now. We want to figure out who's behind this scheme and deal with them."

As they were going to continue their investigation, a noisy accident echoed from the front of the protected house. They traded frightened looks and moved circumspectly toward the sound.

In the parlour, they found a masked figure remaining in the midst of broken glass from a messed up window. The gatecrasher's voice was twisted by a modulator by and by. "I advised you to stop. You're playing with powers unchangeable as far as you might be concerned."

Lucy, her apprehension abrogated by outrage, yelled, "Who are you? For what reason would you say you are doing this?"

The interloper stayed quiet, progressing gradually, and took out a hidden weapon. In any case, before they could act, a dash rang away from behind them. The gatecrasher staggered and fell to the floor, their cover falling away to uncover a familiar face — Jane Monroe.

Vanilla, her weapon actually prepared on Jane, requested, "Who are you working for?"

Jane, her eyes loaded up with distress, talked in a stressed voice. "You don't have the foggiest idea. I was attempting to safeguard you. There are powers affecting everything here that you can't fathom."

Agent Stevens pushed ahead mindfully, keeping his weapon prepared for her. "Begin talking, Monroe. We really want replies."

As Jane talked, she divulged a tangled snare of trickery, uncovering that Dr. Bennett's research was only a glimpse of something larger. The scheme reached out a long way past what they had envisioned, with influential people able to take any measures to keep up with control.
