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.

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

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."
