Chapter 12 - General Sterling Questions His Allegiance To The Corrupt Elite Class
General Sterling stood on the balcony of the Pentagon overlooking the Potomac River, watching helicopters land on the concrete pad.
He unpinned the golden medals from his dark navy-blue uniform jacket one by one, placing them neatly inside a velvet-lined case.
His decades of service had been dedicated to protecting an America that was currently being eaten alive by domestic corruption.
“Is it finished, General?” a voice asked quietly from the doorway of his private office.
Sterling turned to see Elena standing there in a sharp business suit, holding a sealed manila envelope bearing presidential seals.
“The warrants are fully executed, Elena. The Sterling empire is gone, and the committee has been permanently dissolved,” Sterling said.
“Good. America needed a hard reset, and we just handed them the keyboard,” Elena replied, walking over to hand him a plane ticket.
“Where does an old soldier go when his uniform no longer fits his principles?” Sterling asked, looking at the ticket destination.

“Wherever he wants, General. Your active duty officially ended ten minutes ago,” Elena smiled warmly.
“Welcome to civilian life.”
