Chapter 192: Care, Love and Drugs

In the police station, Eleanor had just finished revealing the wrongdoings of every officer present to the others. At first, they were shocked. Then came the protests. Eventually, they all cast their gaze down onto their laps, feeling dejected.

She was receiving live updates through her earpiece, connected directly to her shadow team. When she realised the mission was complete and her team was returning to the station, she decided it was time to wrap up.

"Isadora, give me the box," she said.

Isadora placed an identical copy of the box that Eleanor had gifted the Inspector earlier onto the table.

Eleanor slid the box across to Inspector G. Reynolds and said, "Inspector, thank you for your cooperation. This small gift is for your team, as promised. I’ll leave the distribution to you."

She looked around. All the officers present were eyeing the box curiously.

She continued, "Officers, I came here to rescue someone. It seems my team has completed the job. What I expect from you will be explained by your Inspector later. I’ll take my leave now. You now know each other’s darkest secrets. I know a few more, but those are not important. The important thing in a force is unity. Despite knowing one another’s faults, if you can support each other, I believe you might still clean up the social pariahs of this area. Best wishes to you all. And thank you."

With that, she stood up and confidently walked out of the meeting room. Isadora and Livia followed closely behind.

Livia couldn’t help but ask, "Is Georgia okay?"

Eleanor replied, "She’s been through some kind of torture. She’s unconscious, but alive. I believe she’ll need to stay in hospital for a while to recover."

"Is it serious?" Livia asked with concern.

"No. Just some bruises and lack of nourishment. Nothing too serious. Don’t worry... you’ll see her soon."

As the group walked out of the station, Eleanor turned to the guard posted at the entrance and asked, "Did anyone come to the station while we were inside?"

The guard replied respectfully, "No, Ma’am."

Isadora chimed in with a laugh, "Looks like this station isn’t very popular around here."

Just then, they saw the rescue team approaching not far away.

Eleanor said, "Let’s get in the cars. We need to leave this area as soon as possible."

Isadora stepped forward, opened Eleanor’s car door, and Eleanor got in.
