Two, Three and Six hid behind the door while Five hid behind the couch. They all were holding stunt guns and were ready to use it incase things went south.

Two began speaking in her comms "Remember we stay in position until I give the signal, if anything goes wrong don't hesitate to use the stunt guns."

Three shifted slightly, adjusting his grip on the stunt gun as he waited for the signal. His heart pounded with anticipation, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he prepared for whatever might come their way.

Six remained silent, his senses sharp as he scanned the room for any signs of danger. He knew that their success depended on their ability to act swiftly and decisively, and he was ready to do whatever it took to protect his crewmates.

Five, hidden behind the couch, kept her eyes glued to the surveillance feeds, her fingers poised over the controls. She watched intently, ready to alert the others at the first sign of trouble.

The door bell rang and Two spoke in the comms "Five can you check who it is?" 

"It's Erics co-workers it looks like it's just them." Five replied as she went over the live security footage.

"Alright Eric you can open the door" Two spoke as she turned to Eric

Eric hesitantly approached the door while the rest of them assumed their positions staying hidden within the shadows 

Eric opens the door as he puts on his best act "Come in guys..! Glad you could make it" Eric said as his co-workers

As his co-workers took a seat Eric stayed standing near the table anxiously waiting 

"Is something wrong Eric?" One of his co-workers asked in a concerned tone

"Yea no I'm fine nothings wrong.." Eric said as he sighed and let out a little chuckle "Just on edge.."

Before his co-workers could respond Two, Three and Six jump out pointing there guns "Don't Move!" They yelled

"Is that..? Rebecca?" One of his co-workers asked in awe as his eyes widened 

The atmosphere in the room shifted instantly as Two, Three, and Six revealed themselves, their stunt guns trained on Eric's coworkers. Tension crackled in the air as the unexpected turn of events left everyone on edge.

"Rebecca?" Eric's coworker echoed, disbelief coloring his voice as he stared at Two.

Two's expression remained steely as she assessed the situation, her grip on her stunt gun unwavering. "My name is Two," she stated firmly. "And you're going to help us."

Eric's other coworker glanced between Two and Eric, uncertainty flickering in his eyes. "Eric, what's going on?" he demanded, his voice tinged with concern.

But before Eric could respond, the door burst open, and a squad of Dwarf Star Technologies security guards stormed into the room, their weapons drawn and ready. The sudden intrusion sent shockwaves through the group, their carefully laid plans unraveling in an instant.

"Hands in the air! Now!" the lead guard barked, his gaze sweeping over the room as he assessed the situation.

The crew dropped their guns and put their hands up except for Two as she leaped towards Eric and lifted him up from the collar of his shirt

"YOU TRICKED US? AND CALLED SECURITY ON US!?" Two yelled as pushed Eric against the wall

The guards didn't know what to do and kept ordering Two to stand down but she refused. Before Two could do real damage, Mr. Rook entered and took out a neural inhibitor with one click of the button Two yelled but fell onto the floor unconscious.
