Hunting for Shade (3)

The car hummed through Nokisi Point's sky, its occupants wrapped in anticipation as they neared the warehouse.

Inside, Erik, June, Ramon, Camille, and Rebecca were deep in discussion, outlining the potential scenarios they might encounter at the warehouse.

"Let's consider the likelihood of it being guarded," Erik said, his eyes meeting each of his companions in the rearview mirror.

"If that place is really connected to Shade, it means we should expect even greater resistance than you remember."

Ramon nodded in agreement. "It's likely they've set up surveillance systems, too. We'll need to be cautious about approaching the perimeter."

"If we encounter guards, I suggest a divide-and-conquer strategy. Distract and disable. We can't afford to get bogged down in a firefight."
