hey had extracted from Ivanov and Volkov, pieces of a larger puzzle that hinted at a deeper conspiracy. He arrived at HQ to find Lisa already at her desk, her eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep but

Moretti was in his study, surrounded by documents and screens. He looked up in surprise as the agents burst in, his expression quickly turning to one of cold defiance. "Gabriel Moretti, you're under arrest for money laundering and conspiracy," Alex declared, cuffing him. Moretti smirked, his eyes gleaming with arrogance. "You think you've won?

Alex and Lisa prepared to question him, aware that this could be their most challenging suspect yet. Lisa's voice was steely as they entered the room. "Mr. Moretti, you're looking at a very long time in prison. But if you cooperate, things could go differently for you." Moretti leaned back, his expression inscrutable. "You have no idea what you're up against. The Council is everywhere. You can't stop it." Alex's eyes were cold. "We've taken down your associates. We'll take down the rest of the Council, too. It's only a matter of time." For a moment, there was silence. Then Moretti's eyes flickered with a hint of fear. "You're playing a dangerous game, Agent Carter. But perhaps... there are things I can tell you." --- The information Moretti provided was invaluable. He revealed the names of several other key figures within the Shadow Council, each revelation bringing them closer to dismantling the entire network. But with each new lead, the danger intensified. One evening, as Alex and Lisa worked late, their phones buzzed simultaneously. It was a message from an unknown number: "You're getting too close. Stop, or there will be consequences." Alex's jaw tightened. "They're trying to intimidate us. It means we're on the right track." Lisa nodded, her expression grim. "We need to stay vigilant. They're getting desperate." --- The threat only fueled their determination. They pushed forward, coordinating with international agencies to track down the remaining Council members. Each operation was a high-stakes gamble, but their efforts paid off. One night, as they celebrated a significant breakthrough, Alex looked at Lisa, a rare smile on his face.
