Lisa slowly regained consciousness, her eyes fluttering open to reveal a disorienting scene. She found herself tightly strapped to a bed, the crisp white bedsheets contrasting starkly against her current predicament. As she took in her surroundings, she became aware of the muffled sound of voices engaged in a heated argument.
Straining to listen, Lisa recognized one of the voices as resembling Justin's. The familiarity provided a small glimmer of hope amidst her confusion and captivity. The voices grew louder, and the words became clearer, revealing a conversation between Justin and a man named Ernest Shaw.
Ernest Shaw, a formidable figure, exuded an air of authority. His bald head bore the scars of battles fought, a testament to his past as a retired soldier in the American government. With a muscular and imposing stature, he commanded attention, evoking a sense of trepidation from those who encountered him.
In the tense exchange, Ernest berated Justin, blaming him for Lisa's discovery of their hidden location. The accusation hung heavily in the air, their voices filled with frustration and disappointment. Justin, defending himself, insisted that he had no knowledge of Lisa's presence, claiming she was his personal assistant and expressing his confusion over how she had found the building.
Lisa's mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle of her situation. She realized that her inadvertent intrusion into this clandestine world had caused a rift between Justin and Ernest.
