CHAPTER 3: THE LAST NAME ON THE LIST
Hours later, the building stood empty.
Police vehicles filled the streets outside.
News helicopters circled overhead.
The arrests would dominate headlines for years.
I stood alone in the VIP lounge where everything had started.
The cut on my lip still stung.
My father entered quietly.
“You okay?”
I nodded.
“It's over.”
But he didn't answer.
Instead, he handed me a final file.
There was only one photograph inside.
I froze.
The face staring back at me belonged to someone I trusted.
Someone who had worked beside us for years.
Someone who had secretly helped build the entire criminal network.
“No...” I whispered.
My father's expression hardened.
“He was the mastermind.”
A cold chill ran through me.
Everything suddenly made sense.
The leaks.
The failed operations.
The ambush tonight.
He had known we were coming.
Before either of us could speak, my father's phone rang.
He answered.
Listened.
Then slowly smiled.
“They got him.”
I looked up.
“Where?”
My father closed the file.
“At the airport. Twenty minutes ago.”
For the first time in years, there were no more names left to hunt.
No more predators hiding behind money and power.
The empire had fallen.
The victims would finally get justice.
As dawn broke over the city, I walked outside and looked at the rising sun.
The extraction wasn't about revenge.
It was about exposing monsters who believed they were untouchable.
Tonight, they learned the truth.
The most dangerous predator in the room was never them.

It was the woman they underestimated.
THE END.
