Hey, pretty good story.I'm just gonna point out a couple of typos and little grammar mistakes :)

(By paragraphs, I mean when there is a return)

At the beginning, "That was my thought" should be plural "Those were my thoughts" because there are more than one.

Second paragraph, "I have always had respect for my brother...". Then, you say "wrong" almost twice in a row, maybe you could rephrase. Something like "I found out how wrong I was along with his corruption."

3rd paragraph, "achieve what I have now" sounds akward, "achieve what I am now" seems appropriate.

5th, "He seemed" would be it in the last sentence.

7th, "I stood on the spot", "Realizing he could never...". The last part lacks a little structure. "his face saddened as he stood up and walked around the table" would repair that.

9th, "corrupted wayS", "He was" since you relate the past all along. "The same blood flows within us".

10th, "Was it meant for me to find?" the "it" is misplaced. "I knew what I had to do"

11th, "something that would crush my brother's whole life."

12th, "asking for a password" little typo here. "I could no longer turn back"

13th, "Opening my eyes", once again shouldn't be there, cause we didn't read about her opening her eyes before that. You should add in front of what the picture of his wife and son is. There is a little confusion in the fact that you say there is another picture in the frame, then when it is opened, you still say "another" picture. Either there were three pictures, or the another should be removed. The last sentence here could make without the "by the photo" it's too redondant with picture just before it.

14th, "for the United States", "At that very moment" "a beep from the computer alerted me" came is useless in the sentence. "It contained all the account numbers of the money that was..." amount makes the sentence sound akward. "Placed everything back"

15th, "The data I had obtained", "to arrest the members involved while the president was being informed".

16th, I just noticed that you say "we arrived at his apartment", which is weird because you said house the first time, just a thought. Again "I stood on my spot" "and looked at him approaching".

17th, "The same photo I stared at a while ago and patted my head". Panting is when you're exhausted :)

20th, "The nights will be..."

22th, "as I felt the wind blowing past us..."

Sorry for this long review, I think you're story is good, just thought that a little grammar correction could be applied. Don't take me wrong, most of those are just suggestions. Choose to change what you want. A good review is to help out, even if only on typos and a little grammar! Keep writing.
