The Final Gambit

(scene): The sun dipped below the horizon as Rio and the task force prepared for the operation at Victor Hale’s estate. The weight of their mission hung heavily on their shoulders, but the group’s unity provided a quiet strength. Victor had evaded justice for too long, manipulating lives and systems from the shadows.

(Aya, checking her gear): “We’ve accounted for every contingency. Victor is slippery, but we’ve anticipated his moves.”

(Rio, stepping forward): “Then let’s make this count. We go in fast, gather evidence, and leave no room for him to wriggle out. This ends tonight.”
