"Right away, sir. May I have some details on the matter so I can brief the team properly?" Linda asked.

"Very likely. They want her alone. No matter the means, don't let them take her," Justin ordered.

"Understood, sir. If we can't get to her, how far should we go?" Linda asked.

"There is no limit," Justin said.
