THE MAN WHO FIRED HIS OWN FATE
The two officers approached Ethan. One reached toward the device, but Ethan moved it away without raising his voice.“This tablet contains government inspection records,” he explained. “You should not confiscate it without proper authorization. I suggest you confirm your instructions before proceeding.”“Stop listening to him!” Malcolm shouted. “I gave you an order. Remove him immediately!”Before either officer could touch Ethan, the conference room door opened.Four men entered, led by a government investigator carrying an official document. Their arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.“Malcolm Rane?” the investigator asked, looking directly at him. “We are government investigators. We have a warrant requiring your arrest.”Malcolm stared at the man in disbelief.“My arrest?” he repeated. “There must be some mistake. I am the one dealing with an employee who has been interfering with this company.”“There is no mistake,” the investigator replied. “The warrant concerns suspec
YOU ARE FIRED, ETHAN WARD!
Ethan stared at the dismissal order on his computer screen. His access to VerdaLife's records had been blocked, and the name of the man responsible was displayed beneath the document. Malcolm Rane had finally decided to act against him.Before Ethan could close the page, two security officers approached his desk. Several employees looked up from their computers, sensing that something serious was about to happen.“Mr Ward, Mr Rane wants you in the procurement conference room,” one of the officers announced. “He has instructed us to escort you there immediately.”“Is there a problem?” Ethan asked, calmly placing his phone in his pocket. He noticed the other officer watching the verification tablet beside his computer.“You will hear everything from Mr Rane himself,” the officer replied. “Please come with us. We have been instructed not to leave without you.”Ethan picked up his tablet and followed them.Inside the conference room, Malcolm stood before several senior procurement employe
THE NUMBER BEHIND THE ATTACK
The surviving attacker pushed the photograph away before the investigator finished speaking. His wrists rested on the interview table, and the scars near one knuckle were still healing. “I told you what happened on that road,” he said. “I don't know the man who hired us.”“You know the man who paid you,” the investigator replied. He placed a second photograph beside the first. “You identified him during your earlier interview, but you never explained how he gave you the instructions.”The attacker stared at the man's face. “He met us at a rented office. No names, no questions. He said the target would be carrying a verification tablet, and that we had to recover it.”“Who gave him the target's route?” the investigator asked. He kept his voice even, although the man opposite him had helped arrange an ambush. “A seven-man team doesn't appear on an inspection road by accident.”“He said somebody at VerdaLife was helping,” the attacker answered. His eyes flickered toward the recording cam
THE SIGNATURE BEHIND THE KILLERS
The missing medicine had been sold elsewhere, but someone had signed to say it reached the hospital. Ethan studied the restricted approval reference as trolley wheels squeaked outside the consultation room. His phone rang before he could examine it further.“I’ve authenticated the transfer record,” Naomi said. “Elias preserved the entry, and Lorne obtained lawful access to the audit history. The destination changed before the hospital received anything.”“Who authorized it?” Ethan asked, leaning against the desk. “And please tell me you have more than a name on a document.”“An approval credential assigned to Malcolm Rane,” Naomi replied. “The timestamp matches the diversion. We still need proof that Malcolm personally used it.”“Keep that distinction clear,” Ethan said. He thought about the four hundred and eighty missing vials. “What did Felix Dorn do afterward?”“His company certified the original delivery,” Naomi explained. “Then the hospital’s procurement department approved a re
THE MEDICINE WAS NEVER MISSING
Back at the hospital, Kellan began returning towards the paediatric ward.Ethan stopped him gently.“Mr Bell.”Kellan turned. “I need to be with my daughter.”“I understand. I will not keep you long.”“What do you need?”“You said a private supplier offered to sell you the meropenem.”Kellan’s expression became guarded.“My daughter has received the medicine. Why are you still asking me about another pharmacy?”“Because its quotation may help us discover what happened to the hospital’s stock.”Kellan gave a tired laugh.“Everyone keeps talking about records while my daughter is fighting for her life.”“You are right,” Ethan said.The agreement surprised him.Ethan continued.“The documents will not change what Nia is experiencing. But they may prove that someone created the shortage deliberately. If that happened, another family could face the same danger.”“You will not involve my wife in another interrogation?”“No.”“And this will not interfere with Nia’s treatment?”“No.”After se
THE ROUTE THAT CHANGED
Daniel continued staring at Victor Sallis.His fear had not disappeared.Sallis still possessed enough influence to suspend him, accuse him of mishandling controlled medicine or destroy his reputation before he could defend himself.However, Nia had nearly lost her life because everyone trusted a false record.Daniel could no longer pretend that protecting his position was more important.“I do not know how many families were affected,” he told Kellan. “But I intend to find out what happened to this shipment.”Sallis stepped forward.“You will do no such thing. You are a pharmacist, not an investigator.”“I am responsible for releasing medicine to patients,” Daniel replied. “That gives me the right to ask why four hundred and eighty vials never reached my shelves.”“You should be careful.”“I have been careful for years.”Sallis narrowed his eyes.Daniel’s voice shook slightly, but he did not look away.“Perhaps I was too careful.”The employees standing nearby became silent.Daniel h
