Mathis stood in front of the bathroom mirror, the steady hum of running water blending with the rhythmic brushing of his teeth. The soft towel wrapped around his body felt comforting and warm. A faint knock on the door jolted him from his routine. He hesitated for a moment before opening it, revealing Bree on the other side.

Bree's gaze swept over him, her sly grin betraying a mix of admiration and curiosity. "You're in good shape, Mathis," she remarked, her eyes lingering on the evidence of his past battles. "But I can tell you've had your share of fights."

She wore a pair of form-fitting black pants that accentuated her curves and a snug blouse that highlighted her graceful contours. Her smile was playful, her eyes glinting with a touch of flirtation. Her hair was neatly pulled back into a tight ponytail.

"I'm just getting dressed, Bree," Mathis said with a smile, his gaze briefly lingering on her.

"Don't bother for my sake," she replied, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Mathis returned her smile and disappeared into the bathroom to finish getting ready. A short while later, they were in Bree's car, weaving through the bustling traffic toward the university. Mathis's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Eva and the possibility of her being a double agent or under manipulation. The thought gnawed at him.

Bree broke the silence. "I dug into Tobias Fischer's background," she said, glancing at Mathis. "Nothing stands out. He seems unremarkable."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa6GkadUM5
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hjhc5pTqo
Mathis frowned, looking out the window as the cityscape passed by. "It's strange. There has to be something hidden beneath the surface."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBKDYP7lLE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkefHKpiBo
Bree gave him a sidelong glance. "So, you've had your own share of dirty work?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBSK1NzPJ1
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN9RFdXT0f
Mathis smirked slightly. "We all have our skeletons. But we need to focus on this. Time is running out."

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQWp9Hsky
They arrived at the university, and Bree approached the front desk, greeted by a friendly young lady. "Hello, we're looking for Mr. Tobias Fischer," Bree said.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO7CzcQOMS
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluunjqcGLc
The young woman's curiosity was piqued. "Mr. Fischer has an appointment right now. Can I take a message?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEXEIJaITb
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJdcY332c
Bree checked her watch. "No need. We'll come back later. Thank you."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYxrzHp5jE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5l4ABrIhw
Returning to Mathis, Bree leaned against a window in the great hall. "Mr. Fischer's not available now. You can wait in the car and follow him. I need to head back to the office; my presence might raise suspicions. We're working for the same cause, but discretion is key."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZd0l8b0br
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoBHQQSshZ
Mathis nodded, a touch of wariness in his eyes. "Understood. I'll follow him and see what he's up to. But we need answers, and we need them quickly."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL5xbuYsL9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35srnUdurH
Bree handed over her car keys and left. Mathis examined the photographs on the university walls, noting the prominent figures alongside Mr. Fischer. The scope of his connections was becoming clearer, and caution was paramount. As he headed back to the car, he spotted Mr. Sha—the broad-shouldered man from Nice. Mathis's instincts sharpened, and he stayed hidden, watching Mr. Sha with growing suspicion.

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwD4T96z8y
Night fell after an exhausting day of surveillance. Mathis sat in contemplation, replaying the day's events in his mind. He had witnessed a tense dinner between Mr. Fischer and Mr. Sha, but the crucial details had eluded him. Bree arrived, breaking his reverie.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjd7GnS6ZT
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyaxpjf3GU
"Long day?" Bree asked, her smile barely masking her concern.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eO4oBh2GJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdgZporkJY
Mathis gave a wry smile. "Tiring, to say the least. Let's get to the point."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uaeZelkD
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdFXOqHfI1
Bree's gaze was intent. "What did you find out?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokdEz7LXod
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOXeXbYzqf
Mathis recounted the day's events. "I tracked Mr. Sha's movements. He was in constant contact with Mr. Fischer. Their dinner was tense, but I couldn't catch the details. Sha is affiliated with the Shadow Front—he's an enforcer for the organization. I got some photos of him."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzBcPUpXVy
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZEJHa5Qca
Bree's eyes narrowed. "I'll check our records. Anything else?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTbw6qKrTF
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhZilJT628
Mathis's attention shifted to Mr. Fischer's house, a modern structure perched on a small hill. "I think we need to act fast."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaWuvcXOwo
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTOH7jNhqn
Bree's determination was palpable. "We should apprehend Fischer and interrogate him. We don't have time to waste."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WnZo7KZC
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5VvWeNKTW
Mathis nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfyE5EZygu
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwZc9fOuBg
They approached Fischer's house, and Mathis knocked on the door. When it opened, he swiftly subdued Tobias with Bree's assistance, binding his hands. Fischer's fear was evident as he sat trembling in the chair.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bil7JgO5M
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn15d763Hv
"What do you want?" Fischer pleaded. "I don't want to die."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zENnDiXHL
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbd8QUKBcQ
Mathis's gaze was unyielding. "What do you know about the Shadow Front?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCamuXrZRZv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4L2D7iVVQ
Fischer's fear shifted to arrogance. "I know enough to understand that chaos is coming. The world will be in disarray within the week."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5TEH4WjTL
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPUvpWsOXG
Mathis pressed his thumb under Fischer's chin, applying pressure to a nerve. Fischer's face contorted with pain. "Consider this a warning. If I escalate this, it will be excruciating."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEGyuBT3sw
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnNzW0DUh4
"You don't scare me," Fischer sneered.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrpaCcIVos
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GlCbepwHM
Mathis intensified the pressure, causing Fischer to tremble uncontrollably. "Ready to talk now?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpHpXWeIW1
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpcaLtWYoN
Fischer's defiant posture cracked. "Alright, I'll talk."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81YZ1yJk3v
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vPaM9zekV
Mathis sat down beside him. "What's going to happen in a few days?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KKKQ7Coep
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJQ2cmEww1
Fischer panted. "A new software launches on Monday. It's designed to hack and control any system. The Shadow Front uses this company as a cover for their real agenda. Everyone thinks it's a new internet platform."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0tvVEzqkB
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp6UhsfE2Z
Mathis pressed further. "Why were you with Mr. Sha today? What's his role?"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfAf5pfArl
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFDydt711z
Fischer looked exhausted. "Sha was there to apply pressure on clients. He's a ruthless enforcer for the Shadow Front."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrW18Kto9g
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfCMbq8LHV
As Mathis sought more answers, a bullet shattered the window, silencing Fischer. The sudden violence was shocking—two masked men had appeared, their dark clothing blending with the night. They were armed with silenced weapons, their movements precise and calculated. The lead attacker had a cold, menacing demeanor, his eyes hidden behind a black mask. The second attacker was slightly smaller but equally deadly, his weapon poised and ready.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqobD1UHWv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC0F6e87Xr
Mathis sprang into action, grabbing Bree and pushing her to safety. The attackers' aim was deadly, but Mathis's swift reflexes and training allowed him to dodge most of the incoming fire. He returned fire, hitting one of the attackers in the shoulder, causing him to stagger.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4UcqYGNEa
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjJsBUIbdE
Bree, taking advantage of the distraction, pulled out her own weapon and fired with precision. The second attacker, caught off guard, was quickly subdued. As the gunfire ceased, Mathis assessed the situation. The attackers were professional—part of the Shadow Front's elite security team. Their swift, ruthless approach indicated they were highly trained and familiar with such operations.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3F2KZfzHHt
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGB5UPbwf
Mathis and Bree searched the house for additional threats or clues. The attackers had been quick and efficient, leaving little behind. The phone's ringing broke the tense silence, and Mathis retrieved it, hoping for a lead.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbnrx0KwI
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyCFweXTc1
As they exited the house, Mathis noticed a sleek black vehicle trailing them at high speed. The car's darkened windows obscured the occupants, but Mathis could make out the aggressive driving style.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtguTKvflV
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjzLyPTLHl
"We're being followed," Mathis said grimly.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7WLnPnqeV
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnW5Zt1C3T
Bree's frustration was evident. "Yes, I see that!"
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWPN1xqzz7
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4wF0UXlxA
She accelerated, weaving through traffic as Mathis leaned out the window, returning fire at the pursuing vehicle. The black car was heavily armored, but Mathis's aim was steady. He targeted the tires and engine, trying to disable the car without causing a crash that could endanger civilians.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPIGhSyFtj
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruyY8CJdgf
The black car retaliated with a burst of gunfire, shattering the rear window of Bree's car. Bree's hands stayed steady on the wheel, maneuvering through sharp turns and narrow streets. The chase was intense—Mathis's bullets were hitting their mark, but the enemy vehicle remained relentless.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDDyZRS232
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHqHB7Z2Gu
As Bree sped down a deserted country road, Mathis took Bree's gun and fired at the remaining attacker leaning out of the black car's window. His shots were precise, and the attacker fell back into the car, the weapon slipping from his grasp.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLPc5iGHJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdGXVJaoHa
The black car's driver lost control, the vehicle skidding and flipping violently before coming to a halt. Bree slammed on the brakes, bringing their car to a stop. The immediate danger had passed, but the threat was far from over.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w4zOAB2W7
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHKcBrI1K
Mathis approached the wrecked vehicle cautiously. The attackers were either dead or severely injured. Mr. Sha was not among them. Mathis returned to the car, where Bree looked relieved but anxious.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3KHfFFeH
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ547Hw258Vf
"Were they dead?" Bree asked, her voice steady but concerned.
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRsvn1nfkg
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi9P1dVXl5
Mathis's expression was calm. "Yes, they're dead. Their significance is minimal. We got what we needed, but we have to move quickly."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZuJ5M4xzc
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIDuS5F006
Bree nodded, worry evident. "Let's get to Argentina. We need to act fast."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QMgayjPV5
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp8ZPfwtgW
Mathis's crooked smile was reassuring. "I'll handle the arrangements."
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LL9uTzMUE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hbg4ZI8QQ
They drove off into the night, ready to face the next challenge in their quest to uncover the Shadow Front's secrets.
