Part 2: The Revelation & Climax

Part 2 / 2

General Vance punched the priority frequency on his secure satellite radio, barking into the headset with frantic anger: "Vance here, Airfield Control! Who authorized a civilian audit team onto my active runway?!"

The response that echoed through his earpiece was cold, gravelly, and instantly recognizable: General Marcus Sterling, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Daniel, stand down and do not move. The woman standing on that tarmac is Dr. Victoria Reed, Senior Inspector General for Black-Budget Defense Operations and Special Presidential Envoy. Her executive order supersedes every military command on this installation."

Vance's blood turned to ice. His radio slipped from his fingers, dangling against his camouflage vest as his jaw dropped open in pure disbelief.

"Every covert cargo flight you routed to private foreign buyers in the Gulf has been cataloged," General Sterling continued over the speaker. "The $46 million shell account registered under your brother's logistics firm in Panama was frozen twenty minutes ago. Your command is terminated effective immediately."

Before Vance could utter a sound, two unmarked tactical Black Hawk helicopters dropped from the sky, kicking up clouds of desert dust behind the flight control tower. Twelve armed federal marshals and special investigators from the Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID) swept across the tarmac with rifles raised: "DROP TO YOUR KNEES, VANCE! HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!"

The corrupt commander collapsed onto the scorched runway as federal agents pinned his arms behind his back. The sharp, heavy snap of steel handcuffs echoed loudly across the airfield in front of dozens of stunned soldiers and ground crew. As Vance was stripped of his insignia and hauled away into the transport carrier, I walked toward the open hangar, securing the final cache of experimental drone weaponry he had tried to sell to the highest bidder.
