Chapter Twenty: Truth and Consequences
Back at the safehouse, the team worked tirelessly. Penelope and Sylvester prepared the files for secure transmission to trusted media outlets. Walter coordinated with allies outside the city, while Gibbs and Olivia strategized their next moves.
The atmosphere was electric—hope tempered by the ever-present danger.
Suddenly, the burner phone rang. Samara answered, her face tightening.
Samara:
"They're coming. SWAT teams, federal agents—looks like a full-scale raid."
Gibbs (grim):
"Time to disappear. Penelope, send the files now. Everyone else, gear up."
As the safehouse doors burst open, the coalition fought their way out, each step a battle for survival and justice.
Outside, the city stirred awake, unaware that the truth was about to shake its foundations.
Olivia (breathless):
"This isn't over."
Gibbs (determined):
"No. It's just begun."
