The Tempest Edge

Ethan's team was dragged away, thrown into a dark van.

The officer's voice echoed through the radio. "Package secured."

Rory's eyes locked on Ethan's, fear radiating from her gaze.

Sophia's face set in determination. "We need to escape."

The van sped through the city, finally stopping at an abandoned warehouse.

Ethan's team was dragged out, thrown into a dimly lit room.

A figure emerged from the shadows.

"Welcome, Ethan," the figure said, its voice dripping with malice.

Ethan's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"

The figure smiled. "Someone who's been waiting for you."

Rory's voice trembled. "What do you want?"

The figure's gaze drifted to Rory. "You, my dear, are a valuable asset."

Sophia's eyes flashed with anger. "You'll never get away with this."

The figure chuckled. "Oh, but I already have."

Little did they know, their captor had a hidden agenda.
