Alone in his mental safe space, Adrien told himself that everything looked so real because Adam needed to convince Emmeline that she was in real danger. Without a few blood splats and bullets, how else could the urgency of the situation be conveyed? Yes, it must all be part of the plan. Or so Adrien thought to himself.

Inside the conference hall, Adam looked at Abel's vacant seat. It was getting suspicious now. And when he looked at Benjamin, Benjamin was gone too.

"Sir, there is a fight up there." a staff member came to Adam.

"What?" Adam jumped from his seat. "F*ck. I was tricked."

"What do we do now, sir?"
