Part 2
Special Agent Sarah Jenkins stared at the black leather ledger pulled from Mayor Sterling’s wall safe. The weapons bust—military-grade assault rifles, ghost guns, and tactical explosives tracked from the Port of Chicago to overseas crime syndicates—was already the largest domestic takedown in a decade. But the ledger wasn’t about the illegal hardware. It was a handwritten list of elite American buyers.
Sterling sat in the interrogation room at the Chicago field office, his expensive designer suit wrinkled, maintaining a terrifyingly calm silence. He wasn’t acting like a corrupt politician facing a life sentence in federal prison; he was acting like a man waiting for an extraction team.
“Twenty-nine arrests, Richard,” Jenkins said, dropping a thick evidence file onto the cold metal table. “Police captains, port authority bosses, even your own chief of staff. The $4.1 billion empire is dismantled. It’s over.”
Sterling slowly looked up, a cold, calculated smile creeping across his face. “You honestly think you caught the boss, Agent Jenkins? I’m just the middleman. You should be asking yourself where the shipment from Pier 4 went last night.”
Jenkins felt a knot twist in her stomach. Pier 4 hadn’t been on their raid manifest. Suddenly, the heavy interrogation room door burst open. Another agent stepped in, his face pale. “Sarah, you need to see this. We have a major breach at the downtown evidence lockup. Multiple casualties.”
Before sprinting out, she glanced down at the open ledger on the table. The top buyer, marked only by the initials ‘V.P.’, had just secured enough military C-4 to level an entire city block. Sterling just chuckled from his chair. The true mastermind was still out there, and the stolen explosives were already in play.
