CHAPTER 5 – The Secret Building
The brass key led Emily to an abandoned brick warehouse on the edge of Chicago.
The building looked forgotten.
Broken windows.
Dust everywhere.
No company logo.
No security guards.
She almost turned around.
Then she noticed one tiny engraving on the keyhole.
B.E.
Brooks Enterprises.
Her hands trembled as she unlocked the heavy steel door.
Inside...
The warehouse transformed into something unbelievable.
A hidden command center.
Hundreds of giant screens.
Financial data from every Titan Global office.
Live security cameras.
Employee satisfaction reports.
Charity records.
Anonymous complaint files.
Every decision the executives had ever made...
Had been monitored.
At the center of the room stood a single wooden desk.
On it rested another envelope.
"Emily..."
"If you're reading this, you were the only person I trusted."
She opened the letter.
"My fortune was never my greatest achievement."
"Finding one honest person was."
Tears filled her eyes.
Then another screen suddenly switched on.
Ethan appeared in a prerecorded video.
"If Titan Global ever chooses profit over people..."
"...this room will activate."
Emily stared in disbelief.
"Activate what?"
Before the video could answer...
Every monitor flashed red.
Someone was hacking Titan Global.
Not to steal money...
To erase the company's entire financial history.

The countdown had already begun.
Ten minutes.
