Chapter 14 - Unmasking The Traitor Inside The Mafia Inner Circle

Nathan stood up slowly, his towering frame casting a dark shadow across the sunlit office floor. Before Dr. Ashford could reach the doorknob, Gerald Russo stepped out from the shadows and blocked the exit.
Gerald pulled a heavy silver key ring from his pocket, tossing a small encrypted flash drive onto Nathan’s desk. What is that, Gerald? Nathan asked without taking his eyes off the terrified doctor.
