Victor’s Gambit

(Scene): The chill of the early morning lingered as Rio, Erica, and the rest of the team regrouped at their safehouse. Despite their victories against Victor’s operatives, an unease hung in the air. They knew the mastermind wouldn’t remain idle for long. As they sat around the table littered with maps, files, and communication devices, Eren broke the silence.

(Eren, glancing at his screen): “Victor’s been quiet for too long. That’s not like him. He’s planning something big.”

(Erica, leaning forward): “We’ve taken down his operatives. His resources are limited now. Whatever he’s planning, it has to be his last stand.”

(Rio, thoughtful): “Which makes him more dangerous. He knows we’re coming for him, and he’ll pull every trick he has left.”

Kaori chimed in, her voice steady but laced with urgency. “So what’s the plan? Do we wait for him to strike, or do we make the first move?”
