The morning at Nate's headquarters felt different from usual. The morning sun illuminated the room, but behind that brightness, a tense atmosphere enveloped Nate's team. Their success in eliminating Robert and Stevano from Eagle Eye brought a small victory but also left them aware of the greater challenges they still faced.

In the meeting room, Nate, Rachel, Damian, Aiden, and Emma gathered. Lena was absent, as she was guarding James' family. Nate stood at the head of the large table, which was covered with maps and documents, and looked at his team with a serious expression.

"Team, we need to take things further. After eliminating Robert and Stevano, it's time to focus on the people involved in the Alex Hughes case," Nate said, his voice full of determination.

Rachel, still grieving deeply over Elias' death, rested her head in her hands. "Who do we need to track down? We need to know who's behind all this."

Nate nodded. "We've identified several names involved in the Alex Hughes case

    A bright morning embraced London, with a clear blue sky and soft sunlight bathing the city. However, behind the beauty of the morning, something invisible lingered—a tension that flowed between the shadows. Damian, one of Nate’s team members, stood at a distance, carefully observing the movements of the police chief he had been following for the past few days. Damian was a calm and calculated figure, someone who could disappear into a crowd and become an unseen shadow. His ability to observe without being noticed was a valuable asset to Nate’s team, especially in situations requiring close surveillance like this. He was in a parked car on the side of the road, watching the police headquarters from afar. Since the police chief had caught their attention, Damian had been tasked with following his every move. This police chief, who was supposed to be the guardian of law and order, had now become someone who needed to be closely watched. Nate and his team suspected that the chief had bee

"Chief Hayes has been playing on the wrong side, and now it's time we make him face the consequences. We're going to confront him and give him two options: hand Alex over to us, or we ruin his life."

When he peeked out from his office window, his eyes widened at the sight of the many people now filling the street in front of his building. This wasn’t an ordinary crowd.
