Beyond the Eclipse

Hidden Enemies

We gathered at Thompson's office, reeling from the revelation.

"Zade's family is involved in Project Nightshade?" Axel asked.

Thompson's expression was grim.

"It appears so."

Zade's face was pale.

"I need to know the truth."

Thompson handed him a file.

"Your family's business dealings. See for yourself."

Zade scanned the documents, his eyes widening.

"This can't be."

Axel put a hand on his shoulder.

"We'll get through this."

Suddenly, Thompson's phone rang.

"Thompson," she answered.

Her expression changed.

"We have a problem."

"What is it?" I asked.

"One of our agents has been compromised."

"Who?" Zade demanded.

"Agent Jackson."

Axel's eyes narrowed.

"I knew he was shady."

Thompson stood.

"We need to extract Jackson before he spills our operation."

We mobilized quickly.

Infiltrating the high-security facility.

Avoiding guards and cameras.

Reaching Jackson's cell.

But we weren't alone.

A rival team emerged.

Guns drawn.

"We've been set up," Axel growled.

Zade took point.

"Fighting our way out."

Bullets flew.

We fought for escape.

Jackson's words haunted me:

"Project Nightshade...it's everywhere."

Who could we trust?
