Kodi sat in the shadows of a dingy internet café, fingers flying over a battered keyboard.
"FBI stole my family," he typed, voice steady despite the storm brewing inside him.
"Because I exposed them."
Within seconds, the encrypted message was live.
Across the world, screens lit up.
News outlets picked it up.
Social media exploded.
Dozens of responses flooded in:
"If the FBI's this corrupt, who can we trust?""This isn't justice—it's kidnapping!""Free Kodi Grey!""Why is the government targeting a whistleblower?"
Inside the FBI headquarters
The Chief of Staff's phone buzzed incessantly.
Dossiers were shredded.
Urgent meetings called.
But the pressure was too much.
Breaking News: FBI Chief of Staff Arrested
Charges: coercion, abuse of power, unlawful detention.
The agency's walls trembled.
Back in the café
Kodi stared at the screen as his phone buzzed.
A single message.
"We'll arrange your surrender. You have our attention."
He exhaled.
"One step closer."
Kodi had played the system like a master hacker.
And now?
They had no choice but to bring him in.
But the game was far from over.
