The inevitable

"What did you say?!"

Luke yelled as he abruptly stood up, lines formed on his forehead, he couldn't believe four teleporters of good ranks were lost. Those men were valuable to the family but Selena had lost them on such a small mission.

The human-sized projection of Selena lowered her head, though she was older than Luke, he was her boss and a loyalist of the family. She obeyed her superiors to a fault. Selena was reporting back to Luke who was calmly sitting like an immovable rock but once he heard about the demise of four teleporters and seven soldiers his emotions took over as he stood up and shouted.

They had such losses and the target wasn't even captured, this was a total failure. This wasn't just about Derek, B.N had trampled on them by abducting a guest from their home, this was a great insult to the Crawfords. Both the B.N. and those teleporters had to pay but Selena, who he had placed much trust in, failed.
