The sky was still pale when preparations reached their final stage.
It was not a quiet morning.
Nor was it a busy one.
It felt more like a pause before something much greater occurred.
Adrian Blackwood stood in the center of the tactical room.
His gaze fixed on the large screen.
The digital map cast a faint glow upon his face.
Red lines marked the entry routes.
Blue dots indicated the team's positions.
There was no room for error.
Daniel stood beside him.
His fingers moved swiftly.
Data was constantly being updated.
Every second brought new information.
"We have three routes," he said.
His voice calm.
Full of focus.
Leonard Graves leaned against the table.
His eyes scanning the map.
"They are definitely watching everything."
His tone casual.
But the meaning sharp.
Adrian did not turn his head.
"Let them see what we want them to see."
Daniel added a new layer to the map.
"The shadow team will enter from the north side."
He zoomed in.
