The shadow Haunter
Chapter:5

The Dealer

In the dimly lit back room of a rundown warehouse, Zack sat in his dimly lit office, contemplating the recent rumors of a traitor within his territory.

His steely gaze fixed on the flickering candlelight, his mind calculating every possible scenario.

Zack knew he had to act swiftly to protect his empire, and so he called upon his most trusted ally, Mike, the elusive drug dealer.

Mike was a master of deception and had eyes and ears in every corner of the city. Zack needed his expertise to uncover the traitor before it was too late.

As Mike entered the room, his presence exuded an air of danger and intrigue. The two men locked eyes, a silent understanding passing between them.

Zack's face was stern, and his eyes cold as he leaned in closer to Mike. 'I've heard rumors of a traitor hiding within my territory,' Zack said in a low, menacing voice. 'And I need your help to find out who it is.'
"I can't afford to have someone working against me from within."

Mike agrees to take on the investigation, understanding the risks involved but also seeing an opportunity to prove his worth to Zack.

"I'll do what needs to be done, but it won't come cheap," he replied.


Zack slid a briefcase filled with stacks of cash across the table towards Mike. "Money is not an issue. I need results."

Mike smiled and opened the briefcase, counting the money with a satisfied grin. "Consider it done, Zack. I'll start investigating right away."

Zack knew the price of Mike's services was steep, but he also knew that there was no one better for the job.

Mike encounters obstacles and dangers along the way, facing threats from rival gangs and suspicions from those he questions.

As the investigation progressed, tensions within Zack's organization grew.

The fear of the traitor's identity being exposed loomed over everyone, leading to paranoia and distrust spreading like wildfire.

As Mike gets closer to the truth, he discovers a web of deceit and betrayal within Zack's organization.
He uncovers a trail of evidence leading to a high-ranking member known as John Frederick and one of  his  trustworthy ally has been secretly working against Zack.
