Jordan’s apartment door swung open minutes later. Ava Hayes, 35, razor sharp, brilliant eyed, a civil rights attorney who could skewer a courtroom twice before breakfast, walked inside without waiting for an invitation. She took one look at her brother’s face and said, “Tell me everything slowly.” Jordan replayed the night.
Claire’s explosion, the accusations, the suspension, the shame, Elena’s testimony, the recording. Ava didn’t flinch, didn’t gasp, didn’t crumble. She grew colder, harder, focused like a blade. So she said, “Clare Witman has a pattern of discrimination, falsification, intimidation, and retaliatory reporting.” Jordan blinked.
When dad died, he didn’t leave us money or property or a legacy with his name engraved on a building. He left us something better. She opened his father’s Bible on the table, scanning the underlined passages. her finger stopped on one. Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Galatians 6:9. Ava looked at him with fire in her eyes. This is your due season. You don’t lose heart now. Jordan inhaled deeply. The words soothed him like warm hands on a shaking shoulder. Okay, he whispered. Where do we start? Ava smiled. The way a lawyer smiles when she smells blood. Step one, we pull every crew complaint archived in the last 10 years.
Step two, we match Claire’s shifts to every incident. Step three, we find witnesses she scared into silence. Step four, we expose the money trail from those illegally sold charity seats. Jordan’s eyes widened. How do you know about that? Ava raised an eyebrow. You called me Jordan. You forget. I specialize in people who pretend to be saints while stealing from the vulnerable.
Jordan felt a tremor of hope. Ava, do you really think we can beat her? Ava closed the Bible gently. Jordan, we’re not here to be Clare. We’re here to expose the truth. And people who build power on lies always collapse. Jordan felt something ignite in his chest, something he hadn’t felt since the humiliation at gate 42. Strength.
By dawn, Jordan and Ava had gathered. Elena’s audio files, screenshots of past discrepancies, gate logs showing Clare’s pattern of behavior, anonymoustestimonies about fraudulent upgrades. It wasn’t everything, but it was the beginning of a storm. A storm that had Clare Whitman’s name written all over it.
And Jordan Hayes, he wasn’t going to hide anymore. He wasn’t going to break. He was going to fight. If you’ve ever been pushed down by lies, then what Jordan uncovers next will make you believe in justice again.

Snow dusted the tarmac outside Jordan’s apartment as dawn broke, casting pale blue light across stacks of documents covering his kitchen table. Passenger manifests, crew rosters, complaint summaries, faded training reports. Every sheet of paper seemed to whisper a fragment of the truth, small, scattered, waiting to be assembled into a single incriminating picture.
Jordan stood over the table, rubbing tired eyes. He hadn’t slept. Not after scene 3’s revelations, not after hearing Clare’s voice on the recording Elena had retrieved. He won’t get far. He’s perfect, ambitious, naive, desperate to impress. All I have to do is push the right buttons and they’ll believe me over him every single time.
Ava slid him a cup. Drink. We’re not even close to done. Ava pulled up a spreadsheet she’d been building since 4:00 a.m. At first glance, she said, “Cla’s record looks clean. Too clean. That’s how you know she’s hiding something.” “Explain,” Jordan said. Ava tapped the screen. “In 10 years, do you know how many interpersonal complaints she filed?” “Maybe five,” Jordan guessed. Ava smirked humorously.
Try 28. Jordan froze. And how many were verified? Ava clicked to the next tab. Zero. Jordan stared, shocked. None. Ava nodded. Because she always filed them in a way that made them look like procedural concerns rather than personal conflicts. She used safety language. Smart, subtle, effective. But look at this. She highlighted a column.
Every one of those complaints happened when she didn’t get her way. She clicked again. And here’s the real kicker. The screen displayed two overlapping charts. Claire’s scheduled routes, the charity flight rosters. They aligned perfectly. Jordan squinted. Are you saying yes? Ava said, voice sharpening.
