A man screamed loudly, stumbling to his feet in a desperate attempt to escape. Sweat streamed down his forehead, his eyes wide with terror. Two figures pursued him calmly: one wielded a knife, while the other held a rope, tugging it taut.

"What's the problem, James?" the brunette asked with a chuckle, as the redhead beside her tripped James, sending him crashing to the floor and hitting his jaw painfully. "Yeah, James, we just want to talk," the redhead added.

James turned to face them, his expression a mask of fear, tears threatening to spill. He struggled to speak, managing only a choked, "Please..." The redhead scoffed, stomping on his chest.

The brunette, noticed Katerina’s agitation as the redhead grips her knife tightly, . "Calm down, Katerina," she whispered. The redhead glared at James, seized his collar, and dragged him into a room, slamming him down into a chair.

Vivienne sighed as she bound James tightly to the chair. "Try to escape, and we’ll make sure you die a painful death, you hear me?" she threatened. Katerina sat across from him, her expression serious.

"Well then, shall we start?"

Lance, dressed in blue, approached his car with his dog. After placing the dog in the backseat, he settled into the front. As he closed the door, Five suddenly appeared and took the passenger seat next to him.

Lance jumped, exclaiming, "Oh, Jesus!" while his dog barked at the intruder. Brandishing a knife, Five pressed it against the doctor’s neck. "One chance. That's all you've got," he said, pressing the blade in more. "One chance to tell me exactly what’s going on in that lab."

Lance quickly divulged, "I—I manufacture prosthetic devices for fake patients. I bill the insurance companies and sell them for cash on the black market."
