Detective Cruz and I exchanged a weary yet satisfied glance as we stepped out of the data center, the tension of the past hours finally easing from our shoulders.
"Looks like we managed to dodge a bullet this time," Detective Cruz remarked, her voice laced with exhaustion.
I nodded, a sense of relief flooding through me. "Indeed. But we can't let our guard down. We need to stay vigilant in case those hackers decide to strike again."
"Agreed," Detective Cruz replied, her gaze scanning the area for any signs of lingering danger. "We'll need to review our cybersecurity protocols and shore up any weaknesses to prevent future breaches."
As we made our way back to the precinct, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered in the air. The hackers may have been thwarted this time, but they were still out there, lurking in the shadows, waiting for their next opportunity to strike.
