"On a collaborative effort from the Maine Police Department and the SWAT team, a facility in the state of New Hampshire was raided last night on a drug bust operation. The chief of police on his press conference this morning stated that they have been informed about the illegal operations on this facility 4 weeks earlier. They had said that they needed to have careful planning and coordination as this facility is owned by Anthony Grayson the President and owner of the Grayson Communications who is believed to have deep connections with a few government officials and with the Chief Police Director of the New Hampshire Police Department himself.

There had been a crossfire between the police and the securities guarding the facility but no one was injured during the open fire. Twenty million dollars worth of illegal drugs had been confiscated from the facility as well as 32 unregistered firearms. Twenty-eight people were arrested and are now under the Maine Police Department custody until further investigations are done.

This morning, Senator Peters called for a press conference himself to try and clear his name from this case. If we recall, he was the top senatorial candidate last election who was backed up by Anthony Grayson himself. He claims that he is not involved in Grayson's businesses and will take lead in this investigation to prove his innocence. People reacted to this in an uproar saying that he might twist this case to pardon Grayson but Senator Gold who is already working on Grayson's tax evation case is said to also take part in this investigation.

Anthony Grayson has yet to make a statement about this. This is an ongoing news."

Alec smiled. The news was broadcasted all over Time Square and he just needed to stop the car to hear it. He replaced his glasses on and ordered his driver to go. It was not a very long drive until he arrived at the Grayson's Communications.

He expected the scene that was in front of him. There were so many reporters camped outside the building even if it was only 9 in the morning. His father was not at his house which is why Alec believed he had stayed overnight in his office stressing about the raid that happened in his facility.

It took weeks of planning. They had to coordinate from another state because of how strong Anthony was. So many people were protecting him. Just a few days ago, he was tipped by the police department of New Hampshire and so he had to tighten his security. These people were armed and the least they wanted was involving blood and dead bodies.

Thankfully, because of Harold's super spying skills, he was able to provide a list of the people inside the facility as well as their shifting schedules. With a little bit of pre-operation threat and bribery to the front guards, the MPD was able to get through the front gate and into the back of the building to catch the suspects by surprise. They open fired but they stopped sooner when they realized they were outnumbered. Nobody was hurt. The front guards were also arrested.

Alec's car stopped in front of the building and everyone in there started to shove their cameras and microphones in front of his face while they bombarded him with so many questions. He ignored every single one of them. The security guards helped him get inside the building.

He can feel the grim and devastated aura from the staff inside. Everyone has heartbroken and were probably worrying about what's going to happen to their jobs. Alec finally understood what Gray said. These people rely on this company. If it goes down, a majority of them also goes down.

They all looked at him with sad faces asking to be saved.

He quickly made his way towards his father's office. As soon as he arrived, Harold gave him a small nod. He handed him an envelope and then proceeded to leave the office.

One of the reason Alec came here was so Harold would be able to safely hand over his resignation and leave the vicinity without Anthony suspecting him. Alec needed to distract his father.
