Sylvia, sitting at the central table with a serious expression, reviewed the report on the screen in front of her. "We've lost contact with the agent investigating James' house. This is a new agent from Eagle Eye. Has there been any recent update?"

Miller, standing beside Sylvia, checked the notes and communication logs related to the agent. "We lost the signal a few days ago. We've tried reaching out through all communication channels, but there's been no response."

Grace, seated at another table, added with a worried tone, "This isn't just a minor issue. The agent recently joined the team and might not be fully aware of all security protocols. If they're in trouble, we need to find out immediately."
