Chapter 6 - The Federal Connection
Damian stared at the federal badge in absolute disbelief.
The Russian mafia and the FBI were working together to destroy him.
He realized the corruption ran far deeper than a simple turf war.
Damian pulled out his encrypted satellite phone.
He dialed the private number of Judge Mitchell, his highest-paid mole in the federal government.
The judge answered on the second ring, sounding completely terrified.
Damian demanded to know about a joint task force targeting the Romano family.
The judge gasped and said he was not supposed to talk about the black-site operations.
Damian threatened to mail the judge's bribery ledgers to the press if he did not speak.
The judge broke down and confessed everything.
He said Mia was not just a random hostage.
She was the product of a top-secret ghost program designed to breed leverage against crime families.
The judge revealed that the Romanos had a traitor leaking information to the feds for years.
Damian demanded the name of the traitor immediately.
Before the judge could speak, a loud gunshot echoed through the phone line.
The judge made a wet, gurgling sound and the call disconnected.
Damian dropped the phone in shock.
He looked up toward the shattered windows of the bunker.
A bright red laser sight pierced through the smoke and landed directly on his chest.
Damian tracked the source of the laser beam outside.
