Martin was sitting at his desk waiting for the media to report the press releases that his cousin had promised would come out. He trusted her when she told him last night that she was going to find a way for her part of the plan to go through.
At exactly ten in the morning a swarm of police vehicles arrived at R Tower and the cops went to the different floors and departments to arrest the members of the syndicate. As one of the ring leaders, Martin was their first priority. He was doing his work when the police burst into his department's area and placed him in cuffs.
Martin was so shocked with what had just happened that he couldn't even respond. As they dragged him out of the office, he saw them arresting other members of the syndicate.
How could they have failed? They had made sure that there were no rats or spies among them. They made sure to check everyone's background and motivation before bringing them into the fold, how were they caught?
