The aftermath of the attack left the facility in chaos. Helen and Davin, though shaken, focused on damage control. The once cold interrogation room was now a battleground, littered with debris. The air was thick with the acrid scent of smoke, mingled with the sharp smell of blood and sweat.Helen paced the room, her mind racing through the implications of the breach.“We need to secure this facility and make sure there are no more infiltrators. I want a full sweep of the area, and I want it done today.”Davin, his shirt smeared with stain from the battle, nodded. “I’ll assist in coordinating with Carter and his men. We need to assess the damage and ensure that Nicholas remains secure.”As they moved through the facility, it became evident just how close the situation had come to spiralling out of control. The security breach had exposed several vulnerabilities, and the firefight had left many rooms in disarray. Despite their best efforts, the attack had demonstrated the sophisticati
The morning after the attack, the atmosphere in the facility had settled. Helen and Davin’s team worked relentlessly, coordinating with external agencies and preparing for their next critical move. She has always been on her husband's side. The information extracted from Nicholas had provided a crucial lead, but it was clear that the path to dismantling the network would be anything but straightforward.Helen stood by a large map of the city spread out on a conference table, her fingers tracing various locations and routes. Davin entered the room, his expression serious as he carried a folder of intelligence reports.“Any updates?” Helen asked without looking up.Davin set the folder down beside her. “Carter’s team has managed to make some headway. They’ve identified a few possible locations that might be connected to Nicholas’s network. One of them is a warehouse on the outskirts of town. It fits the profile of a safe house.”Helen glanced at the map and nodded. “We need to priorit

Two weeks after the demolition of Paulus Company, Helen and Davin faced a new adversary: the Sheridan Group, a powerful conglomerate whose dark dealings had only become more entrenched with time.Davin had witnessed the destruction wrought by the network’s designs, but the Sheridan Group represented a different kind of threat for his companies. The conglomerate's vast empire of influence spanned finance, technology, and infrastructure, providing fertile ground for corruption at its highest levels.In their temporary operations center, the walls were lined with maps, financial records, and intelligence reports. Helen was at her desk, her eyes scanning over the latest findings, while Davin joined her, carrying a stack of new intelligence briefs. Helen focused as she sifted through a pile of documents, her fingers drumming against the wooden table.Davin set the briefs down with a deep sigh. “We’re making progress, but it's slow. The Sheridan Group has infiltrated every corner of this
The morning after the shareholder meeting dawned, but Helen and Davin barely slept. They gathered in the operations center, the dim glow of monitors illuminating their faces as they sifted through the aftermath of their presentation.Helen rubbed her temples, the tension from the meeting still gripping her. “We need to capitalize on the momentum we’ve created,” she said, her voice firm but laced with exhaustion. “But I can’t shake the feeling that the Sheridan Group will strike back hard.”Davin leaned against the wall, arms crossed, a contemplative look on his face. “They’re wounded, but they won’t go down without a fight. We need to stay vigilant.” He glanced at the messenger, who had been a crucial part of their campaign. “What’s the public sentiment like today?”The messenger, who had taken a seat at the table, tapped on her tablet. “There’s a surge of support on social media. People are sharing our evidence, and local news outlets are beginning to cover the fallout from yesterday
Helen and Davin collapsed into the car, the doors slamming shut like a final barrier against the chaos. They both took a moment to catch their breath, the weight of what they’d overheard still pressing heavily on their minds.“Did you get any footage?” Davin asked, his eyes sharp and intent as he turned to Helen, his earlier bravado replaced by a focused urgency.Helen nodded, pulling her phone from her pocket. “I recorded everything… If we can expose that…” Her voice trailed off, realization dawning. “We could turn the tide.”Davin nodded, already strategizing. “We need to get this to the media, but we have to be careful. If the Sheridan Group catches wind of our plan, they’ll try to silence us for good.” he muttered slowly. “Then we need to find a safe way to share it,” Helen said, her fingers trembling slightly as she tapped through her phone. “What about Ian? He’s been connected with some investigative journalists. If anyone can help us get this out without getting caught, it’s

Meanwhile, Maya was in the kitchen, the scent of garlic and simmering tomatoes filling the air as she prepared dinner.She savoured the quiet, but it shattered with a loud scream from her youngest sister, Isabella.“Maya! Maya!” Isabella rushed into the kitchen, her face flushed with excitement. “You have to see this!” She thrust her phone in Maya’s direction, a triumphant grin plastered across her face.“What is it?” Maya asked, trying to maintain her composure despite the dread pooling in her stomach. She leaned closer as Isabella played the live stream featuring Davin and Helen.Maya’s heart sank as she watched the two of them, their passion radiating through the screen. “Hello, everyone. We’re here to talk about something very important…” Helen’s voice rang out, filled with conviction. Beside her, Davin’s strong presence amplified the message, a stark reminder of everything Maya had lost.Isabella smirked, “Can you believe this? They think they’re some kind of heroes. Look at all
