Love Us Micky

"LOVE US MICKY"

Chapter 17: Extraction

Micky, Lena, and Emily arrived at the coordinates, scanning the area.

A black van pulled up, tinted windows obscuring the occupants.

The side door slid open, revealing a masked driver.

"Phoenix's extraction team," the driver said. "Get in."

Lena hesitated, but Micky's nod reassured her. Inside, the van was equipped with advanced tech. "Secure channel established," the driver announced.

Phoenix's voice crackled through the comms system.

"Echelon Protocol update: 48 hours remaining."

Micky's grip on the armrest tightened. "What's the plan?"

Phoenix's voice remained calm. "We'll infiltrate The Syndicate's hub. Gather intel. Stop Echelon."

Emily's eyes sparkled. "I can hack their system."

Lena's determination hardened. "I'll take point on infiltration."

Micky nodded. "I'll provide distraction."

The van sped through the city, heading toward The Syndicate's hub.

As they approached, Micky's phone beeped.

A text from an unknown number: "Trust no one. Not even Phoenix."

Micky's heart sank.

Who was behind the message?

And what did they know?

Micky's eyes locked onto the message. "Trust no one. Not even Phoenix."

Lena noticed his concern. "What's wrong?"

Micky showed her the message.

Emily's brow furrowed. "Who sent this?"

Micky shook his head. "Unknown number."

The van's driver, still masked, spoke up. "Phoenix has cleared us for extraction."

Lena's voice hardened. "We can't trust anyone."

Micky nodded. "Agreed. Let's proceed with caution."

The van stopped at The Syndicate's hub, a towering skyscraper.

Phoenix's voice guided them through the comms system.
