CHAPTER 26
The safe house was alive with the sounds of Lena Moreno's team scrubbing through the intelligence that had been gathered off tonight's operation. The tech hub and warehouse intel was vital, but it also opened up a whole set of new questions about what Victor Hale had planned. The mood was exhaustion coupled with determination as everyone focused on piecing together the puzzle.
Elara sat at a workstation, scrolling through the data with Blake and Lena. Their screens were alive with maps, encrypted messages, and surveillance footage. The air was thick with tension as they waded through it all, trying to find the telltale signs of where Hale might be heading.
Lena knocked a few keys, and several decrypted communications showed up. "We've got some good stuff," she said, focused. "It appears Hale's network was prepping some big op involving the tech hub. From what we have here, it looks like they were prepping for some large-scale data extraction."
