The safe house in Prague had offered Jack and Elena a brief respite, but the calm wouldn't last. Jack knew that every moment spent in the shadows was a moment closer to being found. The pressure was mounting, and he could feel it in his bones. But what kept him focused was the knowledge that the real enemy was out there, somewhere in the darkness, pulling strings that could shatter everything he had ever fought for.
As the morning light filtered through the boarded-up windows of the safe house, Elena was already at the computer, her fingers dancing over the keyboard. Jack, unable to rest, paced the room, his thoughts racing with scenarios, possibilities, and plans. He knew they were close to something, but he needed more—more information, more allies, more time.
"Anything?" Jack asked, breaking the silence that had settled over the room.
Elena shook her head, frustration flickering across her face. "Collins has covered his tracks well. Whoever is pulling his strings is careful, meticulous. But I've managed to pick up chatter from some of my contacts. There's a meeting happening tonight—a gathering of high-level operatives. They're calling it 'The Exchange.'"
"The Exchange?" Jack's curiosity piqued. "What's that supposed to be?"
"It's a covert meeting point used by certain factions within the agency," Elena explained. "A place where information is traded, deals are made, and secrets are kept. It's usually reserved for high-stakes operations, which means whatever's going down tonight could be big."
Jack's mind began to turn, piecing together the puzzle. "If Collins is involved in this, then The Exchange might be our chance to get closer to the truth. Do we know where it's happening?"
"Not yet," Elena replied. "But my contact is working on it. We should know the location within a few hours."
Jack nodded, feeling the tension in the room thickening. "Once we have the location, we'll need a plan. We can't just walk into a den of operatives without backup."
"I've already thought of that," Elena said, her voice steady. "I've been reaching out to a few trusted contacts—people who owe me favors. They're willing to help, but we'll need to be careful. This is going to be risky, Jack."
"Risky is all I know," Jack replied, his tone resolute. "But if this is our chance to expose the traitor, we have to take it."
Hours passed in tense anticipation, with Elena working tirelessly at the computer and Jack keeping a watchful eye on the perimeter. The wait was excruciating, the silence oppressive. Every sound, every creak of the old building, seemed amplified in the stillness.
Finally, as the afternoon sun began to dip toward the horizon, Elena's phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen, her eyes narrowing as she read the message.
"We've got it," she said, turning to Jack. "The Exchange is happening at an old, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. It's isolated, perfect for a clandestine meeting."
