"It took a while to even Break through the decryption, and Ross." Wren Said.

I had met up with Wren and Rose For an update on the Intel Rose and I had recovered from Ryan's Penthouse.

"And what did you find?" Rose asked.

"That Ross made a deposit for Phoenix. We, And by We, I mean You." Wren said Pointing at me.

"Are going to retrieve it. This should deal a Economical blow to Phoenix."

"And, Remind me exactly, Why am I given the shit jobs? Where you sit behind a desk doing paperwork and kissing Up to the director's arse." I said, Taunting Wren.

"Because I ain't a cocky rookie like you." He answered.

"He's got you there Zero." Rose said.

"Fair point." I said

"Enough with the chit chat. Get to work." Wren instructed angrily, and left Rose and I to plan out. Except, we weren't.

Rose led me back to my bunk. Again, She Commanded the system to soundproof the walls.

"How's Ross?" I asked.

"I got him out. You making the escape route for him made it easier." She replied.

"Thank God. Where is he now?"

"Jackdaw says He's kept Ross at an underground base. Somewhere in Manhattan."

"At least He's safe."

"He thanked you, y'know?"

"I know."

We both kept silent for a while. I broke the silence by asking Rose the same question I had been asking her. I was growing impatient.

"How long do we gotta do this. I refuse to let Halcyon do anymore harm."

"And you're not the only one who doesn't want Halcyon to do anymore harm, But we can't be rash!"

"So what?! We're just gonna sit here and let Halcyon take over the world's Intelligence Slowly?!"

"We have no choice! The odds aren't in our favour!"

I glared at Rose. I knew she was right, But ever since that night, after the talk I had with her, I knew there had to she another way without risking anyone.

"Fine. We'll do it your way." I said, Crossing my arms.

"Just a little longer. I promise, Zero."

"Finn."

"Hm?" She asked.

"Finn. My name. You probably already know. You have my file after all."

"And I assume it would be better if I called you Finn?"

"Wren may have my file, But Only you and the director has my name uncovered. Wren has the file where my name is redacted."

"Well then, Finn, I promise you, Just a little longer."

"I hope so."

After that, She left me in my bunk to gear up. I had no time to be emotional. It was time to get to work.

Upon reaching the location Rose had given me, I received my mission brief from Rose Over the intercom.

"Two plans, one stash." She said.
