Leo walked into the District Attorney’s office, Nina at his side, the encrypted thumb drive a heavy presence in his hand. Detective Brody was waiting. He took the drive, his expression grim as he loaded the data onto a secure computer. The numbers flashed across the screen, a clear, damning trail of illegal transactions.
