Mako's heart pounded with adrenaline as he stared down at the holographic figure of Commander Sable, his order still ringing in his mind.
The commander's decision to stand down and wait for reinforcements had left him frustrated and anxious. He knew that every passing moment increased the risk to Bill, Erin, and Iris.
His voice, filled with urgency and frustration, broke the tense silence. "Commander, you don't understand. We can't afford to wait for reinforcements. By sunrise, it might be too late for them. We have Angela, and with our combined abilities, we can take on Victor Voss and his gang. We can save our friends if we act now."
Commander Sable's stern voice crackled through the communication device, his patience wearing thin. "Mako, I understand your concern, but we can't jeopardize the mission and risk the safety of the villagers. We don't even know where they're being held inside the village, and engaging with this gang without a clear plan would be reckless."
