A week had passed since Jr's operation, and the news about the kidnapping and trafficking cases started spreading like wildfire. Every news channel, online platform, TV, and radio station was talking about it.
The police directorate and the international police held a joint press conference, where they acknowledged that they had been working on the case for a long time but had been unable to crack it until a hero stepped forward.
"We have been on this case for a long time, but with loose ends," the police spokesperson said. "However, we recently got a hero who has been tracking them, and we are still working with him. We promise to work hard to bring down the culprits."
The news sent shockwaves throughout the country, with many people expressing outrage and demanding justice for the victims.
Meanwhile, the influential people behind the kidnapping and trafficking ring were meeting in secret. They were a group of three people, all high-ranking officials in the government, and they were panicked.
"How did this happen?" one of them asked. "We've been doing this for years, and no one has ever caught on."
"I don't know," another replied, "but we need to find out who is behind this. We can't let them bring us down."
The third member of the group spoke up. "We need to be careful. If the wrong people find out about our involvement, we'll be finished."
Hampton the Second watched the news in his office, his expression grim. He knew that the culprits were likely to be high-ranking officials, and he was determined to bring them to justice.
"I have to meet the president," he said to himself. "We need to work together to find the culprits and bring them down."
He picked up the phone and dialed the president's number. "Mr. President, I need to see you urgently. We have a crisis on our hands, and I believe it goes all the way to the top."
The president's voice was serious on the other end of the line. "I'm listening, Hampton. What's going on?"
