Chapter 20: The Web of Deceit
Ethan's eyes narrowed as he stared at the screens in front of him. He had been monitoring Omicron's movements for weeks, but he still couldn't pinpoint their true intentions.
Sarah walked in, a look of concern on her face. "Ethan, I've been going over the data, and I think I've found something."
Ethan's head snapped up. "What is it?"
Sarah hesitated before speaking. "I think Omicron is just a front. I think there's a larger organization pulling the strings."
Ethan's eyes widened. "What makes you think that?"
Sarah pulled up a chair and began to explain. "I've been tracking the money trail, and it leads to a shell company. But when I dug deeper, I found that the shell company is owned by another company, and that company is owned by another..."
Ethan's mind was racing. "You're saying that Omicron is just a small part of a much larger web of deceit."
Sarah nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying."
Ethan's eyes locked onto the screens in front of him. He knew that he had to get to the bottom of this. He couldn't let EREBUS be caught in the crossfire.
"What's our next move?" Sarah asked.
Ethan's jaw clenched. "We need to dig deeper. We need to find out who's behind this web of deceit."
Sarah nodded, a determined look on her face. "I'm on it."
To be continued.
