They rode the lift all the way up to the executive suite on the top floor of Syndicate headquarters. Chris looked at his watch noticing that it was getting late and decided to head home. Inside the central office, Linda was already standing by the master safe, holding a stack of thick black binders and physical ledger files."These are the primary territory documents, transport contracts, and regional account keys DeLuca and Eric Mercer were trying to tamper with," Linda said, handing the heavy stack to Chris. "I pulled the physical hard copies from the safe so you can review the paper trail yourself.""Good work, Linda," Chris said, taking the heavy files under his arm. He held the steel Dragon Scepter in his right hand. "Pack up the digital logs. Gideon, secure the building perimeter for the night. I'm heading home""Understood, boss," Gideon replied with a firm nod. "The armored motorcade is waiting at the lower garage."Chris and Michelle walked out of the glass lobby into the co

Chris walked fast down the basement corridor, his Michelle stayed right at his side. Gideon followed two steps behind, holding his radio up to his mouth."Team Four, move to the main server room on floor thirty-eight right now," Gideon commanded into his radio, his voice low and firm. "Lock down all exits. Do not let Eric Mercer leave his desk.""Understood, Gideon," a voice replied through the static. "Team Four is on the elevator now."Chris immediately reached into his suit pocket as he walked through the gate at the end of the hall, pulled out his phone and called Linda. “We have a traitor on the inside. His name is Eric Mercer. I need you to keep an eye on him right now and check what he's doing on the system.”"How long will it take Eric to notice DeLuca is locked up?" Michelle asked as they stepped into the lift."He already knows," Linda replied. "I just got a notification that Eric just tried to access the central server from his terminal three minutes ago. He saw that DeL

The private basement elevator moved down fast. The air inside grew colder with every passing second as they dropped beneath the main parking garage.Chris stood near the control panel. Michelle and stood next to him, her eyes quiet and focused. Gideon stood on the other side, his hands folded behind his back."How is DeLuca doing down there?" Chris asked, looking at the digital floor numbers flashing red on the wall."He spent the first hour screaming at the guards," Gideon replied. "He demanded to call his lawyer, his wife, and his private security team. Then he realized nobody was listening to him. Now he just sits on the metal bench staring at the concrete floor.""Did he try to touch the door panel?" Michelle asked."No," Gideon said with a small shake of his head. "Cell Four is a solid steel box. There are no windows, no signal, and no outside handles. The only way out is through the master keycard on my belt."The elevator chimed once and came to a hard stop. The heavy iron door

Chris stood at the head of the long table. He rested his right hand on the Dragon Scepter standing beside his chair. "Look at screen three," Chris said, pointing toward the left side of the room. The thirty corporate executives and division heads turned their heads toward screen three."That is the central allocation log for the eastern shipping ports," Chris continued. "It shows four million dollars moving out of the central vault every month for port maintenance. Who signs off on that disbursement?"A thin man in a grey suit sitting near the middle of the table stood up quickly. He adjusted his glasses with a shaking finger."I do, Mr. Greene," the man said. His voice was tight. "I am Thomas, the Director of Eastern Logistics. Those funds pay for the port guards, fuel storage, and dock repairs."Chris turned his eyes to Linda. "Linda, pull up the actual dock receipts for the last six months."Linda tapped her tablet. A new set of red numbers appeared right next to the blue columns o

The security gate at the base of the Syndicate Empire skyscraper slammed shut behind the four-car convoy. The armored SUV rolled smoothly down the underground parking bay. As the vehicle came to a halt, Adrian stepped out of the escort car behind them. He walked quickly to Chris’s door and opened it from the outside."Underground bay is completely locked down, Chris," Adrian reported, his eyes scanning the wide concrete garage. "Gideon’s tactical guards have cleared every floor. The private express elevator is waiting on ground control."Chris held the Dragon Scepter firmly in his right hand. He stepped out onto the polished concrete floor, and turned and offered his hand to Michelle. She took it and stepped gracefully out of the leather back seat, her eyes bright and focused. Linda followed right behind them, holding her tablet tightly against her chest."Where are the executives?" Chris asked, looking toward the glass doors leading to the elevator lobby."They arrived ten minutes ag

Chris turned his body and walked three deliberate steps toward the second row of the council section and stopped directly in front of Lord Vane. Vane sat stiffly in his wooden pew. His face was pale. A thin bead of sweat trickled down his temple, running past his ear and into his collar. His fingers twitched against his thighs."Lord Vane," Chris said. His voice was low, smooth, and carried straight through the quiet hall.Vane practically leaped out of his seat. He stood up straight, keeping his hands visible in front of him, and bowed his head deeply."Mr. Greene. Supreme Leader," Vane said quickly. His voice trembled just a fraction before he managed to pull it under control.Chris tilted his head slightly, studying the older man's face. "You sat right next to DeLuca for three straight hours today. You shared a private shuttle with him from the airfield this morning."Vane swallowed hard. "Yes, Supreme Leader. That is correct.""Tell me, Vane," Chris said, taking one step closer un
