"Thank you," Alice said, her voice steady. "We'll protect you. But you need to stay hidden."
The man nodded and disappeared back into the shadows. Alice watched him go, her mind racing with the implications of his information.
Back at the precinct, Alice relayed the conversation to her team. The news of a mole sent a ripple of tension through the room.
"We need to handle this carefully," Ryan said. "If there's a mole, we can't trust anyone outside this room."
Alice nodded. "We need to get Marlowe to talk. He's our best chance at identifying the mole. Linda, can you work on setting up an interrogation? Use whatever leverage you can find."
"Absolutely," Linda replied, her expression determined.
"Sanchez, Jake," Alice continued, "I need you to start looking into Marlowe's connections within the force. See if you can identify anyone who might be the mole."
