Body Parts

The new business that Reston was asked to develop was a step beyond what he had ever imagined going into. The drug business was heartless, but the customer got what they wanted even if it destroyed their lives. Setting up a body parts acquisition, production, and delivery supply chain was one step beyond the production and delivery of drugs. Reston was at first shocked until he learned that the money was many times more than the drug business. He set up the business and began to distribute his goods from a converted warehouse in Cincinnati. The sleepy town was the perfect hub to supply the entire East Coast. Afew weeks later, Alex was called in by her Chief, she was shocked when she arrived to the scene of a warehouse fire where the fire Chief had insisted on immediate support from her boss. She and her partner had followed the fire Chief to a cooler filled with a wide assortment of body parts.The Fire Chief had let her know that the county records did not have the unique warehouse modifications listed in the official records. Alex gets shot in the back by a three-fifty-seven but miraculously survives and then takes the fight directly to its perpetrator. She finds his new location and takes down the newly established body parts business. She captures the body parts leader and making progress when her prisoner is assassinated. She now engages her IT magician to retrace the steps that the body parts leader had recently taken. This leads her to Los Angeles where a new body parts business is being set up. She runs down the local mafia leader who is in the process of establishing another body parts business. She determines the location and enters to find a young woman being prepared for processing. She shoots and kills all but the leader and saves the young woman from being killed. Alex leaves prepares to return to Cincinnati but realizes that she has only delayed the body parts black market business. On the one hand she saved many in the short term and on the long term she realizes that this horrible business will prosper because of customer demand and their willingness to pay the black market price for the body part they desperately need.
