Ava was whisked away to a safe house on the outskirts of London, surrounded by police officers who were determined to keep her safe. She was shaken, but grateful for the chief's swift action.
As she settled into her temporary home, Ava's mind began to race with questions. Who was behind the conspiracy? How high did it go? And what did they want from her?
The chief arrived an hour later, accompanied by a team of detectives. "Ava, we need to go through these documents with a fine-tooth comb," he said, his expression grave. "We have to uncover every thread of this conspiracy."
Together, they pored over the records, following the money trail from the church to the shell companies and beyond. Ava's journalist instincts were on high alert, and she was determined to get to the bottom of the story.
As the night wore on, Ava's eyes grew heavy, but her mind refused to shut off. She knew she was close to the truth, but she also knew she was in grave danger.
Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence. One of the detectives rushed in, his face pale. "Chief, we have a problem. We've received a threat from an anonymous source. They say they'll take out Ava if we don't back off the investigation."
Ava's heart skipped a beat as the chief's expression turned grimmer. "We need to get her to a safer location," he said, his voice firm. "Now."
But as they prepared to move Ava, she realized that she was running out of options. The conspiracy was closing in on her, and she wasn't sure who to trust.
