Chapter 12 - The Corrupt Director Arrives At The County Morgue
Back at the county morgue, Director Sterling stood over the empty gurney with a face twisted in rage.
“Find them! Tear every square inch of this hospital apart until you drag them out into the light!” Sterling roared.
Agent Vance stood quietly by the frosted-glass door, watching his superior lose control of his composure.
“Director, if the asset reaches a public terminal, all our offshore accounts will be frozen by morning,” Vance noted.
“I know what’s at stake, Vance! That’s why you’re going to lead the kill squad yourself,” Sterling ordered coldly.
Vance’s expression remained unreadable as he slowly adjusted the cuffs of his crisp white shirt.
“Understood, Director... I’ll handle the asset personally,” Vance replied, turning toward the hallway exit.
As Vance walked out into the corridor, he pulled his personal smartphone from his coat pocket discreetly.
He tapped out a rapid text message containing the exact coordinates of the abandoned railway signal tower.
