The command center buzzed with frantic energy as Ava paced, her mind racing through the possible suspects. The screens around her flashed with data from their various international locations, but her focus was on identifying the mole.
"Team, we need to narrow down the list," Ava said, her voice cutting through the noise. "Cross-reference all personnel with access to the compromised data. We can't miss anything."
Liam stood by her side, his expression mirroring her determination. "I've got the logs from the past month," he said, tapping away at his laptop. "Let's start there."
Ava glanced at him, her trust in him unshaken despite the tension. "Keep me updated. We can't afford any more slip-ups."
As Liam worked, Ava's thoughts drifted to the people she trusted most. Her team was like family to her, and the idea of betrayal gnawed at her. She pushed the thought aside, focusing on the task at hand. There would be time for emotions later.
