Chapter 3 - The Projection of TruthThe young AV technician stared nervously at the flash drive.
Richard shouted.
"Don't touch that!"
Too late.
Evelyn gave the technician a single nod.
"Put it on the screen."
The lights dimmed.
A folder appeared.
PROJECT BLACK-SEA.
The room went completely still.
Then the documents began appearing.
Bank transfers.
Shell corporations.
Encrypted emails.
Shipping manifests.
Secret accounts.
Millions of dollars moved through Atlantic Shipping and dozens of companies that existed only on paper.
A murmur rolled through the ballroom.
One document showed Richard's signature.
Another contained instructions from one of his senior executives.
Then came a spreadsheet listing politicians, contractors, offshore accounts, and concealed payments.
Someone whispered:
"Oh my God."
Richard rushed toward the stage.
"Turn it off!"
The technician stepped backward.
Evelyn stood between Richard and the controls.
"No."
Richard stared at her.
"You don't understand what you're doing."

Evelyn's eyes were cold.
"I understand exactly what I'm doing."
