Chapter 3 - The Black Card

Clara didn't have a personal black credit card. The sleek piece of plastic Diana had stolen was a highly restricted, heavily monitored corporate expense account issued directly by the massive media conglomerate Clara worked for.
This specific card was tied to a top-tier corporate security grid, designed to flag any suspicious purchases instantly. It was meant exclusively for booking international flights, securing secure lodging, and funding high-risk investigative reporting.
