Chapter 13: Trapped in the Shadows
Got it! Here's the updated version with Viper
---
📍 Location: Raven Collective Base – Holding Cells, Unknown
🕒 Time: 10:00 AM
(The team has been caught. Ghost, Samantha, Uche, Lola, and Jason are locked in separate, high-tech cells. The faint hum of the Raven Collective's machinery is the only sound that fills the air as the team regains consciousness, groggy from the brief knockout gas deployed during their capture.)
Uche: (groaning, struggling against the restraints) "Well, this is a nice change of pace. Anyone got a plan?"
Samantha: (rubbing her head) "We need to get out of here. This isn't just about us anymore."
Ghost: (his voice calm, despite the situation) "Stay calm. We need to wait for the right moment to strike."
(The team, each in separate cells, hears footsteps approaching. The heavy sound of boots echoes as a figure steps into view.)
The Raven: (smirking, his voice cold over the intercom) "I must admit, I underestimated you. But now, you're just another part of my collection."
Jason: (growling from his cell) "You won't get away with this, Raven. We'll be out of here before you even blink."
The Raven: (chuckling darkly) "You're all out of time. Phase Two is well underway, and there's nothing you can do to stop it."
(As the Raven's voice fades, the team exchanges looks, knowing they must find a way out before the Raven triggers his catastrophic plan.)

📍 Location: Outside the Base – Hidden Perimeter
🕒 Time: 10:05 AM
Viper: (whispering into her comm) "Kingsley, we're cut off. The team's been captured. We need to move fast."
Kingsley: (his voice steady, but tense) "Understood. We can't waste any time. We need to find a way inside and disable their security. I'll hack into their systems and try to track the team's location."
(As Kingsley works on the system, Viper keeps watch, scanning for any signs of movement. They're alone now, but their time is running out. The Raven's forces are tightening their grip on the base.)
Viper: (gritting her teeth) "We need to move. We can't wait for them to come after us."
Kingsley: (nodding) "Right. I've got a plan. Stay sharp."
(With urgency building, Viper and Kingsley prepare for a risky infiltration mission, knowing that the fate of the team—and the city—rests on their shoulders.)

📍 Location: Raven Collective Base – Control Room
🕒 Time: 10:15 AM
(The Raven watches from his control room, monitoring the captured team members. His fingers hover over a large red button, ready to execute his final plan.)
The Raven: (smiling to himself) "You've done well to get this far. But it's time to end the game."
(He presses the button, activating a countdown across the facility. Outside, Kingsley and Viper are unaware of the imminent danger.)

📍 Location: Raven Collective Base – Inner Perimeter
🕒 Time: 10:25 AM
(Viper moves swiftly through the base, avoiding guards and using her stealth skills to infiltrate deeper into enemy territory. She's close to reaching the holding cells where the team is being kept, but the tension is thick in the air. She's almost there when an unexpected sound causes her to pause. It's too late.)
(A sharp click sounds behind her. Viper spins around, but it's already too late. A group of heavily armed guards, hidden in the shadows, swarm toward her, catching her off guard. She fights back fiercely, but the numbers are overwhelming. She takes down one guard, then another, but she's soon surrounded. A tranquilizer dart strikes her neck before she can react.)
Viper: (barely managing to speak, as her vision blurs) "Damn it..."
(She collapses to the ground, and the last thing she sees is the shadow of The Raven looming over her.)
