The Secret in the Files
Franklin groaned on the floor, clutching his bruised ribs as Brandon stood over him, his German Shepherd growling menacingly. Heather scrambled to her feet, her hands shaking as she gathered the scattered documents. She looked at Brandon, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and gratitude. She recognized him instantly; Brandon was her younger brother's former commanding officer, a man she had only met once at a military ceremony. His presence here was nothing short of a miracle.
"Are you alright, Doc?" Brandon asked, his voice steady but alert, his eyes never leaving Franklin.
Heather nodded quickly, clutching a specific manila folder tightly to her chest. This folder contained the undeniable proof that Franklin’s pharmaceutical company had been falsifying clinical trials, distributing a dangerous drug that had already cost lives—including the life of Brandon’s own father, who had passed away in this very hospital just weeks ago. Heather had discovered the discrepancies in the hospital records and was preparing to take them to the federal authorities when Franklin cornered her.
Franklin slowly pushed himself up, wiping a smear of blood from his lip. A sinister smile crossed his face despite his defeat. He knew he was outnumbered, but his arrogance remained unshaken. He adjusted his crumpled suit jacket and looked at the two of them with cold calculation.
"You think you've won, Heather?" Franklin laughed bitterly. "You hand those papers over, and you destroy this entire hospital. Thousands of jobs, gone. And you, soldier—you think you're a hero? You're just a trespasser assaulting a civilian. I will have you court-martialed before the sun sets."
