Information Revealed

I felt a surge of rage coursing through my veins. The images seared into my mind, fueling a burning desire for justice. I had to make those monsters pay for what they had done.

Gilg closed the video file, his face pale. "I think we've seen enough, don't you?" he asked, his voice hushed.

Dove and I nodded silently, the images of Hana's final moments seared into our minds.

"So, what do we do now?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.

Dove, still visibly shaken, took a deep breath. "We... we'll take his money first," she said, her voice trembling slightly. "We'll make sure he lives a miserable life."

That's not enough, I thought, a wave of anger surging through me. A life should be paid for with a life.

"Dove," I said, my voice steadier now, "do you still have the card I gave you?"

"Asmar's card?" she asked, confused.

"Yes," I confirmed.

She reached into her purse and pulled out the business card, handing it to me. "Why?"

"I just want to keep it," I replied, a cryptic smile playing on my lips.

She nodded, not questioning my motives.

Gilg turned back to his computer, opening a virtual machine. "I'll show you guys what I've found on him," he said, his fingers flying across the keyboard. "Luckily, their database doesn't have strong cybersecurity. I was able to steal their cookies and log in as an admin."

Cookies? I wondered. What kind of cookies? But I didn't want to interrupt his explanation.

Gilg opened a browser within the virtual machine, activated a VPN, and accessed the police database. He quickly found Asmar's file.

[Name: Asmar B.P.S.]

[Age: 26]

[Birthday: August 17, 1998]

[View more...]

I leaned closer to the screen. "What does B.P.S. stand for?" I asked.

"Bachelor of Police Science," Gilg replied, his eyes scanning the rest of the file.

A wave of disgust washed over me as I read the details of Asmar's file. A man with an education, trained to uphold the law, had committed such a heinous crime.

"What else did you find?" Dove asked, leaning closer to the screen.

Gilg scrolled through the file, his fingers dancing across the keyboard. "Well, it seems he has a history of disciplinary issues," he revealed. "Complaints of excessive force, harassment, even a few allegations of bribery."

"But nothing that stuck?" I asked, my voice filled with frustration.

"No," Gilg confirmed. "He's always managed to wriggle out of trouble. But this time, it's different. We have evidence."

He pointed to a section of the file detailing suspicious financial transactions. "Look at this," he said. "Large sums of money deposited into his account, with no explanation of their origin. It's clear he's been taking bribes."

"That's enough to get him fired, at the very least," Dove said, her voice grim.

"But we want more than that," I insisted, my voice filled with a cold fury. "We want him to pay for what he did to Hana."

"Also, because I logged in as admin," Gilg added, "I was able to get a screenshot of his identification card."

Dove and I looked at him, surprised.

Gilg opened the "View more..." section and found a file labeled "IC_Asmar.png." He opened it, revealing Asmar's personal information, including his address.

"He lives in the city, doesn't he?" I asked, recognizing the address.

"Yes, in Central Park of Hero," Dove confirmed. "It's an upscale neighborhood where many wealthy and influential people live."

The pieces were falling into place. Asmar wasn't just a corrupt police officer; he was a dangerous predator with connections to the elite. This would be no easy task.

The air in the room crackled with a mix of anger and determination. We had the evidence to expose Asmar, but the question remained: how were we going to bring him down? It wouldn't be easy, especially considering his connections within the police force.

Dove, usually calm and collected, seemed overwhelmed by the weight of the situation. "Ugh, this is all too much," she muttered, pushing back from her desk and standing up. "I need a break."

Gilg, followed her out of the room. "Let me make you some tea," he offered, his voice gentle and soothing.

I was left alone in the room, the glow of the computer screen illuminating my face. As they left, I sat down in Dove's chair and scrolled through the digital files Gilg had compiled. I found the image of Asmar's identification card and, with trembling hands, took a picture of it with my phone.

A wave of anger and disgust washed over me as I read the details of Asmar's profile. It was clear that he was a dangerous predator, someone who abused his position of power to exploit and harm others.

If he's allowed to continue like this... he'll only become more dangerous, I thought, a chilling realization dawning on me.

Determined to find anything that could be used against him.

I continued scrolling through the database, accessing his work email and personal files. A meticulously crafted CV painted a picture of a model officer, dedicated to serving and protecting the community.

However, as I delved deeper, cracks began to appear in the facade. Hidden amongst the accolades and commendations were subtle hints of a darker nature. A disciplinary action for excessive force during an arrest, a reprimand for inappropriate conduct with a female colleague, and a suspicious gap in his employment history raised red flags.

I dug further, accessing his email inbox. It was a treasure trove of information, revealing a network of corrupt contacts and a pattern of abuse of power. There were emails discussing bribes, cover-ups, and even veiled threats against those who dared to cross him.

A surge of righteous anger coursed through me as I read through the damning evidence. This man was a wolf in sheep's clothing, a predator masquerading as a protector. He had used his badge to shield himself from scrutiny, to prey on the vulnerable, and to silence those who stood in his way.

I meticulously compiled the most incriminating emails and documents, saving them to a secure folder on my phone. This was the ammunition I needed to expose Asmar and bring him to justice. But I knew it wouldn't be easy. He was a powerful adversary, with connections in high places.

As I sat there, staring at the screen, a wave of determination washed over me. I wouldn't let fear hold me back. I would use my powers, my family's support, and the resources at my disposal to bring down this monster.

Just then, a voice startled me from my thoughts. "Interested in hacking?"

I jolted upright and saw Gilg standing beside me, a curious look on his face. He had been watching me the whole time, a silent observer to my digital investigation.

"I want to learn how to search for people like this," I said, gesturing towards the screen.
