Part 1
The FBI stormed Judge Harrison’s downtown chambers today, suddenly uncovering a massive drug syndicate. Harrison and fifty corrupt police officers systematically shielded a lethal narcotic ring targeting the vulnerable Somali community. But as federal agents breached the hidden safe, they found a bloody ledger. Whose prominent political names hide inside?
Part 2
The air in Judge Marcus Harrison’s Minneapolis chambers felt incredibly heavy, reeking of expensive leather and sudden fear. Special Agent Thomas Miller stared intensely at the leather-bound ledger resting on the mahogany desk. For two long years, the hardworking Somali families in Cedar-Riverside had been plagued by an aggressive influx of lethal fentanyl. Desperate community leaders had repeatedly begged for federal help, but somehow, every arrest warrant vanished into thin air. Every undercover raid was tipped off before SWAT could even load their weapons. Now, looking at the meticulous handwriting, Miller finally knew exactly why.
The names scrawled in the bloody book weren’t just low-level street enforcers. There were precinct captains, decorated narcotics detectives, and ruthless city prosecutors. Exactly fifty silver badges permanently stained by greed, all orchestrated by the very man currently sitting handcuffed on the velvet office sofa. Harrison glared at Miller, a smug, deeply arrogant smirk plastered across his aging, wrinkled face. He wasn’t acting like a ruined man whose entire life was suddenly over; he was sitting back, calculating, acting like a man who knew a dark secret that would guarantee he’d never see the inside of a jail cell.
“You really think this entire operation stops with me, Miller?” Harrison hissed maliciously, the heavy steel handcuffs clinking sharply as he leaned forward. “You’re pulling a frayed thread that’s going to quickly unravel this entire state. Those immigrants were just an easy, disposable market. Nobody upstairs cares about them. But the powerful people above me? They care very much about their money.”
Before Miller could interrogate the corrupted judge further, Captain Davis—the esteemed head of the city’s anti-gang unit and one of the highest-ranking names recorded in the ledger—was violently dragged into the marble hallway by two heavily armed FBI tactical members. Davis was screaming frantically, aggressively threatening to expose everyone involved in the syndicate. But right as agents pinned him to the wall to secure him, the main power grid in the courthouse abruptly cut out.
The emergency backup lights violently kicked on, bathing the silent room in an eerie, bloody red glow. In the tense, sudden chaos, a cheap, untraceable burner phone hidden deep inside the lining of Harrison’s confiscated briefcase suddenly lit up. An unknown, restricted number was calling. Heart pounding, Miller picked the device up, slowly pressing it against his ear. A distorted, heavily masked voice spoke just four chilling, calculated words: “Execute order code seven.” The secure line immediately went dead, leaving a deafening silence.
