Duty over family

"Building B, we're in," a man reported, signaling his team to search the building. Each team formed small groups of three, dispersing so one group could check the floors while the rest went up to the next level.

They were aware that Penny hadn't been seen. Only Atlas, Benjamin, and now Hugo were safely accounted for. There was still no sign of Penny, Zoren, Mark, Slater, or Mint. This put a lot of pressure on everyone, especially after seeing the scene.

"Third floor clear," came through the comms. "Second floor, clear."

On each floor, a few enemies were hiding, all of whom were quickly apprehended. There were also hostages inside, but unlike the syndicate members who were willing participants, their team was more lenient with the hostages.

"Fourth floor — clear."

"Fifth — clear."
