Location: Verona, Northern Italy – Industrial District
Time: 02:41 AM (CET)
Cold wind moved through the empty streets outside the warehouse district.
The lights inside one building were still on.
Everything else was dark.
Isabella stood behind a concrete barrier, watching the building through the scope of her rifle.
Behind her, Thomas leaned against a metal container, checking his weapon.
Mari stood near the loading dock entrance, scanning the street.
Enry crouched beside Isabella.
The comms clicked.
Thomas:
“Perimeter looks clean.”
Mari:
“Too clean.”
Enry:
“I was about to say the same thing.”
Isabella didn’t move.
She kept watching the windows of the building.
Thomas:
“You’re thinking something’s wrong.”
Isabella:
“Something is wrong.”
Mari frowned slightly.
Mari:
“Intel said five men.”
Isabella:
“Intel is wrong.”
Thomas looked toward the warehouse.
Thomas:
“How wrong?”
Isabella adjusted the scope again.
Her voice stayed calm.
Isabella:
“I count eight.”
Silence.
Mari cursed quietly.
Mari:
“Great.”
Thomas:
“That’s three extra surprises.”
Enry looked at Isabella.
Enry:
“You want to pull back?”
She lowered the rifle.
Isabella:
“No.”
Thomas smirked slightly.
Thomas:
“I knew you were going to say that.”
Mari shook her head.
Mari:
“One day you’re going to listen when someone suggests aborting a mission.”
Isabella:
“That day isn’t today.”
Enry stood up beside her.
Enry:
“Alright then.”
He checked the magazine of his gun.
Enry:
“Let’s do this.”
Thomas straightened.
Thomas:
“Positions?”
Isabella nodded.
Isabella:
“Mari, south entrance.”
Mari:
“Got it.”
Isabella:
“Thomas, second floor.”
Thomas:
“Already planning it.”
Isabella:
“Enry, with me.”
Enry nodded once.
Enry:
“Always.”
Mari glanced at the building again.
Mari:
“You’re sure about this?”
Isabella looked at her.
Isabella:
“Yes.”
