"Well, well, well," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "Look what we have here."
Maya stepped forward, her eyes flashing with anger. "You're not welcome here," she said.
Agent Ross chuckled. "I'm afraid I am," he said. "You see, I have something you want."
He held up a small device, and Anna's eyes widened as she recognized it. It was the encryption key, the one thing that could unlock the secrets of the Order.
"We're not going to let you have it," Maya said, her voice firm.
Agent Ross smiled again. "Oh, I think you will," he said. "You see, I have something you care about. Something that will make you do exactly as I say."
