CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FOUR - A Trail of Corruption

As Claire approached the warehouse, her heart pounding, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was walking into something bigger than she could handle. But she also knew that this might be their best chance to bring down the corrupt network that had caused so much harm. She took a deep breath, steeling herself for whatever lay ahead. As she reached for the door handle, she whispered a silent prayer, hoping that this risk would be worth it, and that they were one step closer to uncovering the truth and bringing justice to those who had thought themselves above the law. The rusty door creaked open, and Claire stepped into the dimly lit warehouse, ready to face whatever - or whoever - awaited her inside.

She scanned the area, searching for any sign of Jonathan, but the warehouse seemed deserted.
