The afternoon sun beat down on the cluttered garage as Chloe sifted through the boxes. She’d been tasked with clearing out the space, a chore she usually loathed. But today, the task was different. It was an investigation. She found it in a faded folder. Her father's resignation from his position as a corporate lawyer. The letter detailed years of ethical violations, all ignored by the higher-ups. She had always thought her father was a failure. This letter, however, was a secret weapon. A small, thrilling flame sparked within her chest. She crumpled the letter, then pushed it back into the folder. The folder went back on the shelf. The job wasn't done yet, but she knew what she was going to do.
