The heavy cell door rattled open, and Detective Miller stepped inside, slamming a thick manila folder onto the metal table.
"Your partner Marcus was just arrested downstairs, Evelyn," Miller announced, crossing his arms over his chest. "Your alibi just evaporated."
Evelyn snapped her compact mirror shut, letting out a cold, unbothered laugh.
"Marcus is an idiot who doesn't know how to handle pressure," Evelyn mocked, crossing her legs elegantly. "I want immunity and full relocation under witness protection."
"Immunity? You drove an SUV into a pregnant woman on direct orders from David Vance," Miller stated incredulously.
"David is small fish compared to what's coming," Evelyn whispered, leaning forward with a dangerous gleam in her eye. "David didn't just order the hit on Vanessa... he ordered the silence of the federal auditors last year."
Miller's jaw tightened as the true scale of David Vance's corruption began to unfold before him.

Evelyn picked up the pen, signing her name with terrifying precision. "Let's bring down an empire."
