In another part of the tower, Zayden was briefing Leo and Reyes.
A map of the city was spread across the table. Red markers indicated targets.
"Serena Hotel," Zayden said, pointing. "Leo, your team hits this location. Extract every girl. Shut down the operation. Arrest everyone involved."
Leo nodded. "My team is ready. Twelve operatives. We go in fast. Get the girls out. Lock down the building."
"Reyes, your team is backup," Zayden continued. "You secure the perimeter. Make sure no one escapes. No one calls for help. The operation is contained."
Reyes: "Understood. My men are positioned and ready."
Zayden moved to another marker. "Maksim penthouse. This one is mine. I am extracting Selina first—six hours before we strike everywhere else. Victor will help. We get her out quietly. Maksim cannot know she is gone until it is too late."
Leo: "And if he notices?"
