Chapter 132: The Web Unravels
Several hours later, they were back at one of their safe houses, a hidden base tucked deep within a forest, far from prying eyes. The mood was grim as they huddled around a table, debriefing and gathering what intel they had on Adrienne's operations.
"Her network is vast," Eleanor said, her fingers tapping rapidly on her keyboard. "We've disrupted some of her cells, but this... this is bigger than anything we've dealt with before. She's playing a global game."
Marcus shook his head, leaning over the map of recent attacks. "We need to hit her hard, now. Before she triggers whatever this 'Phase Two' is."
Evelyn looked up from her notes. "We don't have enough information yet. Adrienne's been careful to keep us distracted with small victories. She's baiting us."
Alyssa stood silent for a moment, piecing it together. "She's always been a step ahead. The Collapse is already happening, and we've been too focused on stopping isolated incidents."

Eleanor's screen beeped, pulling her attention. "Wait. I've just intercepted a transmission a signal from one of Adrienne's hidden bases."
"What's it say?" Marcus asked, stepping closer
Eleanor's eyes widened. "Coordinates. She's leading us somewhere."
Alyssa's voice was quiet but firm. "It's a trap."
Evelyn nodded. "But it's our only chance."
The team prepared for their next mission, knowing full well they were walking straight into Adrienne's trap. But this time, they had a plan. Alyssa stood at the front of the briefing room, laying out the details.
"Adrienne thinks she's cornered us, but we've got an edge now. She doesn't know that we've been monitoring her communications. We'll use her arrogance against her."
Eleanor tapped a few keys on her device, pulling up the latest intel. "We've tracked the signal to an old military facility on the outskirts of the city. It's heavily fortified, but there's a weak point in their perimeter. If we hit them fast, we can break through."
Marcus loaded his weapon, his expression hard. "Let's bring her down."
Alyssa nodded. "This ends tonight. We're not just going to stop The Collapse—we're going to take down Adrienne once and for all."
The night was dark, the sky overcast as the team moved into position outside the facility. Alyssa's heart raced, but her focus was razor-sharp. They had one shot at this.
"Stay low," she whispered into her comms. "We move on my mark."
The team crept through the shadows, bypassing guards and security systems with precision. As they reached the main entrance, Alyssa gave the signal. "Now!"
They burst through the doors, weapons ready. Inside, they found themselves in a large control room, filled with monitors and data terminals. But there was no sign of Adrienne.
A cold voice echoed through the room. "I've been expecting you."
Adrienne stepped into view, flanked by her elite guards. Her smile was sharp, confident. "You've done well to make it this far, but it's over. The Collapse is unstoppable now."
Alyssa raised her weapon, her voice steady. "We'll see about that." The final battle had begun.
