Lost Signals [Ongoing]

the confrontation | iii

The police,

alerted by a tip moments before,

stormed in.

As the executives attempted to escape,

officers intervened skillfully.

Maya felt the surge of victory

rushing through her veins,

but it was bittersweet,

melded with grief.

They had seized at least

one thread of the tangled conspiracy,

pulling it into the daylight.
