The next morning, the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office issued an official statement.
The statement announced that, at the request of Federation Senator Daniel Sanders and considering the case's potential threat to the security of federal funds, the State Attorney General's Office would dispatch an experienced assistant attorney general to form and lead a special task force. The team would travel to Pittsburgh to independently investigate the fire at the City Revitalization Committee's construction site.
The Mayor of Pittsburgh, Martin Carter Wright, only learned of this news from his press secretary during his routine morning briefing.
After hearing the news, the color instantly drained from his face.
He felt a wave of panic.
He never expected that Leo Wallace, a good-for-nothing lowlife in his eyes, actually had the power to reach all the way to the state level and bring in a big gun like the State Attorney General.
