They spent the next day laying low, poring over the documents. Teddy felt a pang with each new discovery—evidence that his mother had been running the 4th District like her own empire, pulling strings, exploiting people, controlling everything from the shadows.
"She's got contacts in every corner of this city," Kane muttered, flipping through pages. "Politicians, businessmen, even cops. No wonder she always stayed one step ahead."
Teddy clenched his fists, anger simmering. "And my uncle...he knew all of this. He was working with the police, trying to expose her."
Kane looked up, sympathy in his eyes. "He must have cared about you a lot, to put himself in that kind of danger."
The realization cut deep. Teddy had always looked up to his uncle, but he'd never known just how much Marlon had been risking to protect him. It was a bittersweet truth, but it fueled his determination to bring his mother's empire crashing down.
That night, as they mapped out their next moves, Teddy felt a renewed sense of purpose. This wasn't just about revenge anymore—it was about justice, for Marlon, and for everyone his mother had used and discarded.
