The Shadows of Deception

### Chapter 27: ""

(Scene): With Eren's latest plan thwarted and his henchmen in custody, Rio, Kaori, Ryuu, and Erica enjoyed a brief respite. They knew Eren wouldn't give up, but their recent victory bolstered their confidence. The team was determined to stay one step ahead, maintaining their vigilance and strengthening their unity.

Unexpected Allies

One morning, as Rio was reviewing the latest intel, he received a call from an unexpected source. It was an old acquaintance from his law enforcement days, Detective Tanaka.

(Tanaka, over the phone): Rio, I’ve got something you need to see. It’s about Eren.

(Rio, intrigued): I’m listening.

(Tanaka): Meet me at the old warehouse by the docks. And bring your friends.

Rio quickly gathered the team and briefed them on the situation. They were cautious but curious about what Tanaka had to share.
