Chapter 24: The Cost of Justice

Nathan sat at his desk, poring over the files in front of him. He had been working non-stop for weeks, trying to build a case against a powerful corporation that was exploiting its workers. But as he read through the evidence, Nathan realized that this was unlike any case he had ever worked on before. The corporation had deep pockets and powerful allies, and it was using every trick in the book to avoid getting caught. Nathan felt a knot form in his stomach as he read through the reports of workers being forced to work long hours without breaks, of safety violations being ignored, and of wages being withheld. He knew that this was a fight worth fighting, but he also knew that it was going to be a difficult one.

He took a deep breath and looked up at the clock. It was late, and he had been working for hours. He stood up from his desk and stretched, feeling the tension in his shoulders and neck. As he walked over to the window, Nathan saw that the city was still bustling with activity.
