Lena called them back a few days later, telling them to meet her in a more secure location. She'd found a few allies, people who believed Teddy's story and wanted to help. They gathered in a dingy basement, faces tense and wary, each one aware of the risk they were taking.
Lena laid out a plan. "We've got enough here to build a case, but we need one final piece—something that directly links your mother to the corruption. If we can get that, we can make it public and take her down for good."
Teddy's heart raced. He knew exactly where to find what they needed—an encrypted file his mother had hidden in her office, one that contained her most sensitive information.
"We'll have to go back," he said, looking at Kane. "Back to her main base."
Kane gave a grim nod. "Then we go. But this time, we make sure there's no way out for her."
As they prepared for the final showdown, Teddy felt a sense of calm settle over him. This was it—the moment he'd been fighting for. And with Kane and their new allies by his side, he was ready to face whatever lay ahead, even if it meant confronting the darkness that ran in his own blood.
