The safe house was shrouded in an eerie calm. The ticking of the clock on the wall was the only sound that broke the silence. Max, Vivian, and Elena sat around the table, their eyes fixed on the documents and maps spread before them. The city outside was a jungle of concrete and shadows, and they were deep in its heart, hunting the most dangerous predator.
Max leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, trying to piece together the puzzle of Meridian Holdings. Every lead they chased felt like a step into quicksand. He opened his eyes and looked at his companions. "We need to be ready for anything tomorrow."
Vivian nodded, her face set in determination. "Wraith might be our best chance. If he can dig up something on Meridian Holdings, it could be the break we need."
Elena's fingers drummed on the table, her mind working through the possibilities. "We need to stay sharp. The Spider has eyes everywhere. One wrong move, and we're finished."
