Ch-2
Abandoned warehouse, outskirts of the city. Georgie, Ethan, and Luca step inside. The air is thick with tension.
Luca Moretti
(loading his gun) Intel says they were spotted here an hour ago.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
Then we’re already late. Spread out.
They move cautiously. Ethan walks alongside Georgie, his gaze sharp.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
You trust your intel?
Georgie May Adler (fl)
I trust that anyone who lies to me doesn’t live long.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
(smirks) Brutal.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
Effective
Suddenly, a gunshot echoes. Luca ducks behind cover. Georgie and Ethan draw their weapons.
Luca Moretti
We’ve got company!
Georgie May Adler (fl)
(muttering) Of course we do.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
(grinning, eyes dark) Now this? This is my kind of mess.
Gunfire erupts. Georgie and Ethan fight side by side, moving with deadly precision.
The warehouse fills with smoke and the sound of bullets ricocheting off metal. Georgie takes cover behind a stack of crates, firing at the shadows moving in the distance.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
(shouting) They’re not amateurs!
Georgie May Adler (fl)
Obviously. Whoever sent them didn’t want us leaving here alive.
Luca Moretti
They knew we were coming. We got played.
Georgie exhales sharply, eyes scanning the area.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
(low voice) Or someone wanted to test us.
Ethan looks at her, intrigued.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
You think this was a warning?
Georgie May Adler (fl)
(narrowing her eyes) No. I think it was an invitation.
Suddenly, the gunfire stops. Silence takes over. The three exchange cautious glances.
Luca Moretti
Why did they stop?
Ethan Aviel (ml)
(calmly) Because they got what they wanted.
A single phone buzzes. Georgie pulls out hers and glances at the screen. An unknown number. She answers.
Unknown associate
Consider that a taste of what’s coming, Adler.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
Who are you?
Unknown associate
(chuckling) Someone who knows exactly what you fear the most.
The call ends. Georgie clenches her jaw. Ethan watches her carefully.
Ethan Aviel (ml)
Well, that was dramatic.
Georgie May Adler (fl)
(low growl) Find out who they are. Now.
