“I repeat, is anyone out there?” General Carl Gerald immediately radioed again, his voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination as blood slowly dripped down his face.The whole Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency on the mission to take Sara Gerald, General Carl Gerald's sister to the new Elite Divisions Military units secret health facility were down.Behind the Elite Divisions Military units secret health facility medical van, the All Terrain Vehicle which Captain Luke, Mrs Juliet Marcus, Zaia Scott and Debra Zachs drove in was completely down and burning.“What the heck!” General Carl Gerald immediately yelled as he stared at the whole ruin, He was down, even was down, Detective Steve, Lieutenant Alex and the rest of the team were all down, they had been ambushed on their way to deliver Sara Gerald, his sister for treatment at the new and secret Elite Divisions Military units health facility.General Carl Gerald immediately looked out of the window

General Carl Gerald immediately took a deep breath and stared at Mrs Juliet Marcus before looking at Zaia Scott and Debra Zachs.“Mrs Juliet Marcus, you have been one of the best eyes we have in this Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency, what exactly did we not see coming from this ambush?”“Do you think we actually allowed this to happen? I mean the adoption of my sister, Sara Gerald by Lord Denver, do you think there was actually a way we could have avoided this ambush, this whole shenanigan?” General Carl Gerald immediately asked as he shook his head in shock and bewilderment.No one had seen this coming, not him, General Carl Gerald, not Mrs Juliet Marcus, not Debra Zachs, not Zaia Scott, not Captain Luke and definitely not any other person in the Elite Divisions Military units secret service agency.Mrs Juliet Marcus immediately took a deep breath and stared at General Carl before she blinked slowly, she thought carefully before answering.General Carl Gerald…” Mr

Debra Zachs immediately took a deep breath and stared at General Carl Gerald almost immediately.“So yes General Carl Gerald. We could have stopped this. And we didn’t.”“And now we get to live with that for the rest of our short, brutal lives unless we do the one thing we’ve never done before: stop pretending we’re the untouchable fortress… and start acting like the desperate, cornered animals we actually are.” Debra Zachs immediately said, her voice was laced with a mixture of authority and determination as she spoke.General Carl Gerald immediately stared at her for a long second, the wind whipping between them, then placed a firm hand on her shoulder—acknowledgment, gratitude, and a promise all in one—before turning to the scattered, bleeding remnants of his unit.“Gather round, everyone. On your feet or on your asses, I don’t care. Just listen.” His voice was laced with a mixture of determination and unprecedented authority as he spoke.The survivors dragged themselves into a rou

Detective Steve immediately took a deep breath and stared at General Carl Gerald, he was about to laugh when he decided to not anymore.Afterall, what was being discussed was a serious issue."Nurse Evans understands our psychological profiles, but psychological warfare works both ways. She collected our fears, yes, but in doing so, she revealed Lord Denver's priorities.”“The fact that he needed that level of psychological intelligence means he fears us. It means he knows that in a straight fight, we're dangerous.”“So we use that. We make him afraid. We make him doubt. We make him question whether his children truly gave him complete intelligence or whether we held back our most critical capabilities." His voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority as he spoke.Detective Steve began pacing, his tactical mind shifting into high gear. "Here's how we approach this operationally: First, we acknowledge that every standard protocol is compromised. Every safehouse in our

General Carl Gerald immediately took a deep breath and stared at Detective Steve and nodded."That's a very good plan, Detective Steve. Comprehensive, realistic, and most importantly, it accounts for the fact that we're not just facing an enemy—we're facing an enemy that knows us intimately.” “Your strategic approach gives us a framework to operate within, but now we need tactical specifics." His voice was laced with a mixture of determination and authority as he spoke.He turned his gaze to Lieutenant Alex, who had been standing silently at the edge of the circle, his expression unreadable but his eyes sharp and calculating.Lieutenant Alex bore the scars of countless operations, and his reputation from the defunct Elite Strikers Force preceded him—a man who could adapt to any situation, who could turn disadvantages into strategic advantages, who never stopped analyzing the battlefield even when bullets were flying."Lieutenant Alex," General Carl Gerald said, his voice carrying aut
