THE LAST VOICE NOTE
Season 4: Michael Was Never Just a Name
David's heart pounded.
Inspector Bassey took another step forward.
His voice was calm.
Too calm.
"Give me the phone, David."
"You don't know what you're holding."
David tightened his grip around the old phone Zara had hidden beneath the floorboards.
"Then tell me," he replied.
"Why did my sister hide it?"
The inspector smiled.
"Because she was stubborn."
"Just like you."
Without warning, David hurled an old metal toolbox toward the warehouse lights.
CRASH!
Darkness swallowed the room.
The masked men shouted.
David sprinted through the maze of rusty machines.
A gunshot echoed behind him.
The bullet struck a steel beam just inches from his head.
He kept running.
He didn't stop until he reached his car.
Moments later, he disappeared into the night.
---
Back at his apartment, David finally charged the second phone.
The screen lit up.
It had no password.
No contacts.
No photos.
Only one saved number.
MICHAEL.
David dialed it immediately.
The phone rang.
Once.
Twice.
Then...
"This number is no longer in service."
His shoulders dropped.
Another dead end.
Just as he was about to hang up, he noticed something unusual.
The contact had an attached note.
It read:
"If I'm gone, don't call. Find him at The Daily Truth."
The Daily Truth?
David searched online.
It wasn't a person.
It was an old newspaper company that had shut down years ago.
---
The next morning, David drove to the abandoned newspaper office.
Dust covered every desk.
Broken computers were scattered everywhere.
The place looked forgotten.
As he turned to leave, he heard a cough from upstairs.
An elderly man slowly walked down the staircase.
He wore thick glasses and carried a stack of yellowed newspapers.
"You're looking for Michael," the old man said.
David froze.
"You know him?"
The man smiled sadly.
"I am Michael."
---
Michael had once been one of the country's most respected investigative journalists.
Years earlier, Zara had secretly contacted him after discovering documents that exposed a powerful criminal network involving politicians, businessmen...
And senior police officers.
"She wasn't investigating an accident," Michael said quietly.
"She was investigating people who made accidents look real."
David felt a chill run through his body.
"What documents?"
Michael walked to an old filing cabinet.
He unlocked the bottom drawer.
Inside was a thick envelope labeled:
PROJECT PHOENIX
"Zara gave me copies for safekeeping," he whispered.
"She said if anything happened to her, one day you'd come."
David slowly opened the envelope.
Inside were photographs.
Bank transfers.
Secret meeting records.
And one final picture.
The moment David saw it...
His knees nearly gave way.
Standing beside Inspector Bassey...
Laughing together...
Was someone he trusted with his life.
Someone who had comforted him at Zara's funeral.
Someone who had promised to help him find the truth.
His own best friend...
Daniel.
At that exact moment, David's phone began to ring.
The caller ID showed only two words:
DANIEL CALLING...
To Be Continued...
❤️ The greatest betrayal isn't always from your enemies... Sometimes, it comes from the people you trust the most.
