Halfway through the movie, Estelle’s phone lit up with the emblem of Eagle Valley. Her gaze sharpened, and she switched off the TV, entering the password to access Eagle Valley’s secure network.

“I’ll take the mission,” Estelle stated. “But I have a condition this time!”

“Let’s hear it.”

“After I complete the mission, I want Gab to retire.”

There was a brief pause before the voice replied, “Gab has his own assignments, and we haven’t been able to contact him for a month now. His status is unknown, I can’t make that promise.”
