~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside Villa ~
In the planning room…
"We have intruders!"
Michael's statement made everything still. Only his voice was heard: "Seven of them are approaching us from the forest on the left side of the main gate…"
"Who is patrolling nearby?" JoAnna asked when she approached the screen that showed live feed from one of the cameras on the property.
"Corey and Merve are in the area, with Bella." Oni responded.
"Why are they there?" Sophia asked in panic. Two youngsters with a dog. Merve is good in self-defense, but she is not cleared for duty. And what will they do if something happens to Corey? Do they have any weapons?
"Most of the regulars are out on missions, and they volunteered." Michael explained.
Sophia rubbed her forehead with more force than necessary.
"Tell them to hide…" Sophia instructed. "We need someone else there as soon…"
