The "Destruction Plan" was the ill-fated op that Karen led with the Vanguard Agency's elite squad, ending in a devastating failure.

After the mission's collapse, Lark went AWOL, Micah vanished into obscurity, and Vance Edwards went deep undercover while the rest of the special squad was nearly wiped out. Years later, Lark's deputy team leader, Daphne, met a mysterious end.

Lark herself ended it all with a supposed suicide.

Due to the tragic consequences of the mission, the "Destruction Plan" was classified as top secret by the headquarters, never to be spoken of again.

For years, Percival had been itching to unravel the whole story, but his clearance level was far from sufficient.

Now, however, no longer being a part of the Vanguard Agency, he found himself with more freedom to act.

Vance rubbed his temples, his voice grave. "You should know that even with my clearance, I can't access those files."

"You just need to give me the "Destruction Plan" code. I know you remember it better than anyone."

The past haunted every surviving member, and Vance had once climbed to the rank of second-in-command at the Sea City Vanguard Agency HQ.

He definitely had access to the detailed case files and that unforgettable sequence of numbers.

Vance hesitated. "You're asking me to make a mistake."

"You've done it before, Vance. It's important to me."

Silence stretched on the other end of the line before Vance finally spoke, "245214216589."

After getting the information, Percival hung up and entered the code into his computer.

Seconds later, the connected printer whirred to life, detailing the "Destruction Plan" documents.
