Lucy's POV
The adrenaline coursed through Lucy's veins as she stepped into the warehouse, her instincts on high alert. The lead they'd followed had brought them here, to this dimly lit space filled with shadows and potential danger. She could feel the tension in the air as they moved cautiously, knowing that anything could happen at any moment.
As they split into teams, Lucy took a deep breath, trying to channel her anger into focus. She glanced across the room, spotting Tim with Jackson, his expression serious but his eyes flickering over to her. A wave of frustration washed over her, the memory of their fight still fresh in her mind. She shook her head, pushing the thought aside. Focus, Lucy.
"Let's check that area over there," Angela said, her voice steady as she gestured toward a stack of crates. Lucy nodded, her jaw tight, determined to prove herself despite the emotional turmoil brewing inside her.

Tim's POV
Tim felt the weight of anxiety settle over him like a heavy blanket. The memory of leaving Lucy to handle the morning chaos gnawed at him. As they moved deeper into the warehouse, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go terribly wrong.
"Stay close, everyone," Jackson instructed, his eyes scanning the area.
Suddenly, a loud crash echoed from the far side of the warehouse. Tim's heart raced as he turned to see Lucy heading toward the sound, a determined look on her face.
"Lucy, wait!" he shouted, but it was too late.

Lucy's POV
Before Lucy could react, a figure lunged from behind a stack of crates, catching her off guard. The attacker was fast, moving like a shadow through the darkness. She barely had time to process what was happening before she was thrown to the ground, the wind knocked out of her lungs.
"Get off me!" she shouted, struggling against the weight of the man pinning her down. She felt a sharp pain in her side as he pressed down harder, but adrenaline pushed her to fight back.
Tim's voice pierced through the chaos. "Lucy!"
The sound of her name spurred her into action. Summoning every ounce of strength, she managed to twist her body, throwing the attacker off balance.
But the man quickly regained his footing, grabbing her by the collar and yanking her back down. Lucy fought with all her might, throwing punches and kicking out, desperate to escape. She could feel her anger fueling her movements, pushing her to resist with everything she had.
"Stop fighting, you little—" the attacker growled, but before he could finish, Tim was upon them, launching himself at the man with fierce determination.

Tim's POV
Tim felt rage boiling inside him as he rushed to Lucy's side. The sight of her struggling against the attacker fueled his need to protect her. "Get away from her!" he shouted, tackling the man with all the force he could muster.
The impact sent them both crashing to the ground, and Tim quickly scrambled to gain control. He landed several hard punches, but the assailant was strong and fought back, grappling with Tim on the cold concrete floor.
"Tim!" Lucy screamed, her voice filled with fear. The sound propelled him to fight harder.
"Stay down, Lucy!" he shouted, determined to keep her safe. He could feel the adrenaline pumping through him as he continued to throw punches, focused solely on neutralizing the threat.
