In the end, a major investigation was launched. President John Malcomes gave an ultimatum to the FBI, demanding that they identify and apprehend those responsible as soon as possible. Panic and terror were evident among the congressmen, many of whom kept a low profile. Few could be considered clean, and some had committed acts that bordered on treason.
Several congressmen tried to find excuses to flee the country, but none succeeded. As the investigation progressed, more congressmen were arrested, most from the opposition party, but even a few from the President's own party were caught.
The FBI's investigation was in full swing. Some congressmen were killed under mysterious circumstances while in detention, either by cellmates or through poisoning even in separate cells. It seemed that someone was determined to eliminate all links.
