The Betrayal of the Syndicate and the Maid Who Saved Me
“And Tony walks away with my wealth while the feds tear themselves apart trying to find the mole,” Vincenzo said.
“Exactly,” I said. “The investigation into your syndicate dies instantly in the scandal.”
The progress bar on the USB drive beeped twice, flashing green.
*Transfer Complete.*
I reached out and yanked the drive from the slot, shoving it deep into the pocket of my damp maid uniform.
“We have to get to the docks,” I said.
“We won’t make it past the lobby,” Vincenzo said, gesturing toward the door. “Tony’s men are locking down the exits.”
“We take the utility tunnels,” I said. “They run under the server room.”
I clicked back to the main system directory, intending to clear my search history.
But a flashing notification in the system alert log caught my eye.
“What is that?” Vincenzo asked, leaning closer.
I opened the secure encrypted message log.
The message was an automated transfer alert from the county jail database.
“It’s a bail authorization,” I said, reading the screen. “And a records expungement.”
I scrolled down to the name on the file.
*Marcus Vargas.*
