Every demand for food…
Every act of intimidation…
Had been quietly documented.
The tiny camera hidden inside the button of the investigator’s prison uniform had recorded everything.
Including Vanessa’s assault just moments earlier.
The warden turned toward the guards.
“Take Vanessa into maximum security.”
“And arrest every staff member whose names are on Agent Carter’s report.”
Several correctional officers stared in shock.
One veteran guard slowly lowered his head.
He suddenly realized why the newcomer had never fought back before today.
She wasn’t afraid.
She had been waiting.
Waiting for Vanessa to expose herself in front of dozens of witnesses.
As Vanessa was led away in handcuffs, she turned back one last time.
“You planned this…”
Agent Carter met her eyes.
“No.”
“You planned it yourself.”
“I simply gave you the chance to show everyone who you really are.”
For the first time since anyone could remember…
The prison cafeteria erupted—not in fear…
…but in applause.
