Episode 7: Blood in the Shadows

Scene 1: The Arrival of James Moreau

The episode begins with James Moreau stepping into Arvin's apartment, his commanding presence filling the room. Marcus and Lila exchange uneasy glances as Arvin faces him directly.

Moreau:

"You're playing a dangerous game, kid. Caleb doesn't forgive betrayal, and now you've got his attention. Lucky for you, I don't particularly like him either."

Arvin (narrowing his eyes): "Why should we trust you?"

Moreau smirks, tossing a file onto the table.

Inside are photos and documents revealing Caleb's deeper involvement in a human trafficking ring a crime far worse than Arvin anticipated.

Moreau:

"Because I want him gone as much as you do. But you'll need help. Caleb has people-loyal, ruthless, and willing to kill for him."

Scene 2: A New Ally with a Hidden Agenda

Moreau introduces Arvin's group to Selene, a former associate of Caleb. Selene is sharp, resourceful, and carries a knife hidden in her bool. She has her own reasons for wanting Caleb destroyed

Selene:

"I know his operations inside and out. But I'm not here out of charity. Once Caleb's gone, I get my cut-no questions asked."

Arvin studies her, suspicious but desperate.

Arvin:

"If you're lying-"

Selene (interrupting): "You'll kill me? Get in line. Now, are we doing this or not?"

Scene 3: The Trap

With Selene's help, the group plans to ambush Caleb at one of his warehouses. They want to expose his human trafficking operation and gather undeniable evidence to take him down. The night is tense as they prepare their weapons and gear.

Lila (whispering):

"This feels... too risky. What if it's a trap?"

Arvin (determined):

"Then we fight our way out. No turning back now.

Scene 4: Brutal Confrontation

The group infiltrates the warehouse, finding it eerily quiet. Rows of shipping containers line the space, and the air smells of metal and oil. Suddenly, the lights cut out, plunging them into darkness.

Caleb's Voice (mocking):

"Did you really think it would be that easy? You should've stayed out of my business, Arvin."

Armed guards emerge from the shadows, guns raised. A chaotic fight ensues, with brutal

hand-to-hand combat. Selene moves like a shadow, taking out guards with precision. Marcus and Arvin fight side by side, their

movements raw and desperate.

Arvin finds himself face-to-face with Caleb, who smirks as they circle each other.

Caleb: "You don't belong in my world, Arvin. You're

just a broken fool chasing revenge."

Arvin (snarling): "And you're a coward hiding behind lies."

They clash violentiy, fists flying. Caleb is

stronger, but Arvin fights with unrelenting rage. Blood spatters as punches land, and Arvin manages to grab a metal pipe, striking Caleb across the jaw.

Scene 5: Unveiling the Horrors

As the fight rages on, Lila stumbles upon a locked container. Inside, she finds several

terrified captives-proof of Caleb's human trafficking operation. She radios the others, her voice shaking.

Lila: "I found them. Oh my God... there are people in here."

Moreau, who's been orchestrating the ambush from a distance, arrives with reinforcements, turning the tide. Caleb's guards are overwhelmed, and the remaining captives are freed

Scene 6: A Shocking Betrayal

As the group regroups outside, Caleb lies unconscious, his face bloodied. Selene steps forward, knife in hand.

Selene:

"Leave him to me. He owes me more than you can imagine"

Arvin hesitates but nods, stepping back. As Selene leans in, Caleb suddenly pulls a hidden blade, stabbing her in the side. She screams, but before he can escape, Arvin tackles him, slamming him to the ground.

Arvin (furious): "You're not getting away this time!"

Moreau watches silently, his expression unreadable. It's clear he's calculating his next

move.

Scene 7: The Unfinished War

Caleb is finally restrained and taken away by Moreau's men, but the victory feels hollow.

Selene is Injured, and the horrors they uncovered weigh heavily on the group.

Marcus:

"We stopped him tonight, but this isn't over. Caleb's got more allies out there. We need to stay ahead."

Arvin (darkly):

"Let them come. I'm ready."

The camera lingers on Arvin, his hands still bloodied from the fight, as the screen fades to black.
