Born into a family... More, disguised in the opulence of a high-roller, mingled among the crowd. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, swept across the rink where the match was set to unfold. Ivan Krasikov, the target of their sting, was visible in the VIP section, his demeanor one of arrogant assurance.
Nearby, Briane Harris watched from the sidelines, his mind a complex tapestry of concern for his family and a burning desire for justice. His family was now safe, hidden away under RCSC’s protective custody, allowing him to focus fully on the task at hand. “It’s now or never,” he murmured into the hidden communicator, a lifeline to the team poised for action.
As the game commenced, Ivan’s gaze frequently darted to his underlings, a silent orchestra conductor of corruption. Celine, seizing the opportunity, sidled up to him with a glass of champagne. “Quite the game, isn’t it? I’m thinking of placing a big bet. Any tips?” she asked, her voice a honeyed lure.
Ivan, ever the opportunist, leaned in, his voice low. “Trust me, a big bet on the favorites won’t go amiss,” he winked, unaware of the net closing in around him.
Meanwhile, Briane’s experienced eyes caught the crucial moment—a clandestine signal passed between a player and a shadowy figure in the stands. “Got it. They just signaled the fix,” Briane relayed quietly, his message a cue for the RCSC team.
Within moments, the arena erupted into chaos. RCSC agents, previously unseen, emerged from the crowd, swiftly moving towards their targets. Celine dropped her facade, stepping squarely in front of a stunned Ivan. “Ivan Krasikov, you are under arrest for corruption, illegal betting, and manipulating sporting events,” she declared, her RCSC badge gleaming under the arena lights.
Ivan recoiled, his face contorting with rage. “You can’t do this! I’ll have your badge for this!”
As the RCSC secured Ivan and his cohorts, Celine turned to Briane, who had joined her side, a slight smile breaking through his usually stoic demeanor. “We couldn’t have done this without you, Briane. Your courage today changes everything,” she said earnestly.
In the aftermath of the takedown, the curling world buzzed with the news of Ivan Krasikov’s arrest.
