Your great-grandfather's book of black magic likened it to saddling a horse that’s already been broken in. You ask her, "Have you found any proof of your dad's corruption?" Veronica replies with vacant eyes, "Yes, he's an idiot. He kept receipts on the family computer—money he has been stealing from the government, bribes he's been taking, everything. I made a copy on my flash drive." You nod, "Good, give me that flash drive." You copy everything from her flash drive and send it anonymously to government agencies like the FBI and the IRS, rival political parties, and the media. This is an election year, so the rival political parties will no doubt use it as a perfect chance to expose their opponent's corruption. Mayor Brody won’t be able to bury this scandal. It takes only a few days for your actions to bear fruit. "Did you hear? Mayor Brody's been arrested for corruption!" Everyone talks about it during lunch. It's national news. The trial will take a while, but Mayor Brody is done. Veronica is taking a break from school to avoid the fallout, and when she returns, she will have none of her old influence. You silently smile, satisfied with your actions, taking another step forward on the path of the grey mage.
