Chapter 17 - The ChoiceVincent Hale eventually contacted Khloe.
Not the police.
Not Marcus.
Her.
He wanted a meeting.
Khloe refused to go alone.
The meeting took place in a public library surrounded by federal agents.
Hale arrived looking exhausted.
"I don't want money," he said.
"Then what do you want?"
"To stop running."
He handed Khloe a drive containing evidence of the remaining Rossi network.
But there was a catch.
The information would destroy several powerful people.
People who had never been named.
People who still had influence.
Khloe could expose them.
But doing so would reopen the entire scandal.
Marcus looked at her.
"You don't owe the world another battle."
Khloe looked down at the drive.
Then she remembered the woman she had been three years earlier.
Afraid.
Cornered.
Silent.
She smiled.
"No."

She closed her hand around the drive.
"But maybe someone else deserves the chance to stop being afraid."
