"... let's begin our talk, shall we?"
Afterwards, I walk closer to the computer and listen to his briefing, just like every mission I go. I'm always given specific tasks for specific scenarios when the job asks me to, something that my intuition picked up during that very night. The gist is the important part of my career to have before I commit such acts, making me feel like a gentleman and classy.
Once I got closer, I calmly ask him, "So, what's the briefing?"
He replies, "Do you work well with a team?"
"A few times, but I prefer to work alone." I tell him with a straight face under my mask.
He leans on his chair and tells me, "Good, because if you know: MacArthur Prison is the most defended facility in all of Manila, not almost the same level as the main capital."
"Katulad ng mga nasa Russia? (Just like the ones in Russia?)" I ask him.
"Indeed, Deathwatch. Fortunately for us, our intel reports that the top part of the prison is lacking some guards, meaning that you got a shot from there." he informs me, which raises my eyebrow.
"The prison is Super Max and the Accord are not that easy to give out such a flaw in their security. How do you know this?" I asked as I place my briefcase on the table and open it, finding most of my gear in place.
"My team were the ones who handle the other half so that you can do your mission. Right now, they are focusing on reaching the prison's deeper levels to find someone else." he tells me, which confuses me.
"I thought this was a solo op." I respond seriously with this revelation.
"It still is. While they handle their mission alone, you will handle yours. I'm making sure that this operation will separate you from mine... until you escape, which requires you to link up with them. Don't worry, your reputation won't be tarnished if you do help us." he tells me as I pick up my fiber wire and my hand-crafted bayonet for my pistol.
"My reputation with the Accord will be tarnished if they know I infiltrated their prison. Then again... they never gave me a reason to like them, either." I said as I recall a few of my missions where they have attempted to assassinate me.
"Hmm... interesting from a Loyalist Killer." he says as I re-adjust my tie.
"It still doesn't change my hatred for Loyalists. The Accord is just an additional challenge for me to accomplish." I tell him as I look at the tech nearby.

After reviewing the evidence in the box, I take what I need and place the rest in my locker, closing it shut to keep it safe.
"This should do." I said as I then use the key to fully shut my locker and put it in my pocket.
The guards were nice enough to give me a locker as precaution to not bring every piece of evidence near her. I had a feeling that if I brought the box and something bad happens during the investigation, she would get everything from it, making the situation worse. I had to make sure it goes smoothly or I'll never get my chance.
Feeling that I got everything I need, I walk out of the locker room to head for the Interrogation Room, hoping to either wait or meet her there. Once I'm out, a number of guards in combat vests rush through the halls, questioning their reason for attire as I don't hear some drills going on.
As they make their way for something, I bump into Cres, who was surprised to see me.
"Mr. Linrov! What are you doing here?" he says in a joyful tone.
