Chapter 541 Carrie’s Intel

• These days, Carrie hadn’t slept at all. She took her First Brigade and pushed the search radius for the drug cartel from downtown Ciderbrook out to the nearby towns and suburbs. Even after widening the net around the surrounding towns, getting a scrap of useful info was already hard enough—and the moment she finally dug up a lead and reported it, the response from upstairs wasn’t “follow the trail.” Instead, Joe Powell handed her Eric Goodwell’s number and, without any reason, ordered Eric to join the task force.
• Joe’s order made no sense, and Carrie had plenty to say about it—but rank crushes people. And Joe, as Ciderbrook’s Premier, wasn’t just one level above her. He was way up there.
• The city leader had spoken. No matter how many objections Carrie had, she could only swallow them.
