Herman's father, Congressman Mitchell, was a generous politician who always did good deeds. He was always televised and photographed doing many heartwarming acts of kindness towards the less fortunate. However, not many knew that he stole money from big projects. And his wife wasn't innocent either as she would guiltlessly go shopping using the stolen money. But those who knew about it were either part of the scheme or were too afraid to blow the whistle.
Nina's friend, who worked as one of the congressman's staff, told them about it. But while they didn't like what was happening, one couldn't just go against a person with power when you're not a hundred percent certain you'd win. Politics was always messy and dangerous. If you dip your toes in something you can't handle, you better be ready for what comes for you.
