The Company

After a lengthy journey to Argentina, Mathis finally emerged from the chaos of the airport. The vibrant energy of Buenos Aires pulsed around him, but he couldn't shake the heaviness in his chest—a constant reminder of the mission's stakes. Bree, ever efficient, had already secured a car and was navigating them toward the sprawling metropolis. As they drove, the wind howled outside, prompting Mathis to roll down the window. He closed his eyes, savoring the warm breeze that caressed his face—a fleeting moment of peace amid the storm brewing within him. The hum of cars passing on the streets was the only noise, wrapping him in a bubble of false serenity.

How did I end up here? he thought, letting the moment wash over him. For just a second, he wanted to forget about the Shadow Front, the betrayals, and the bloodshed. But the calm never lasted long, and the weight of what was to come pressed down on him again.

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJr16Xc5iH
Opening his eyes, he turned to Bree. "So, have you made arrangements for a hotel?"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VFoKWcs1s
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6karu9NZWf
She looked at him, a soft smile playing on her lips. "I made a reservation at the luxurious Buenos Aires Marriott Hotel."

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhthPw3DGn
Mathis studied her, trying to read beyond her casual tone. Bree always seemed so unruffled, so in control, but there was something in her eyes—something that mirrored his own unease. "That sounds like it might be quite costly," he murmured, half-expecting her to reveal a hidden reason for choosing such a place.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDuQVNqkm0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP9vmmDR2b
She just smiled wider, her gaze steady. "I figured we could use a good bed."

As Bree cruised through the city, the warm glow of the streetlights illuminated their path, casting long shadows on the walls. The hotel was a grand, modern structure, its upscale aesthetic exuding an air of sophistication that felt almost out of place in their line of work. Once inside their room, Mathis gazed out the window at the sprawling cityscape, feeling a strange mix of isolation and purpose. He reached for his phone, the weight of the upcoming mission settling on his shoulders.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexpYAAFhRw
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCXHQhtTNc
"I've just checked in at the hotel. Any updates?" he inquired, his voice betraying a hint of impatience.

"Hey, Mathis, we stumbled upon a company called Nexta-net. They plan to release new software next Monday, so it seems like the right company. Their office is out of town, but I'll provide you with the coordinates," his old friend informed him, the words crackling through the line.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziWOsxfewU
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc6XsJ1XAb
Mathis paused, his mind racing. Nexta-net? It was just a name, but the implications could be enormous. He couldn't help but wonder what lay beneath the surface of this so-called software company.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHmw30G21g
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMwe9pYxR
"I'm curious: do you have any information about the company's owner?"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6zCCsZ3q3
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd7CAoHBtA
"Unfortunately, we haven't seen any substantial leads yet; it's just a front company. However, we're actively pursuing the investigation, and I'll keep you updated on any developments," his friend assured him.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xlqjrTfWv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYus5Dy5sOQ
Mathis ended the conversation, his thoughts swirling with possibilities. He turned his gaze toward Bree, who was now reclining provocatively on the bed, her eyes locking onto his with a sultry intensity. For a moment, he hesitated. What are we doing? he wondered, the line between his professional duty and personal desires blurring. But then, he pushed those thoughts aside and approached her, sitting on the edge of the bed.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8xxSTZY4s
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wDUqW5vsK
As their eyes met in a wordless exchange, he felt a surge of conflicting emotions—desire, guilt, and something deeper, more dangerous. His fingertips gently traced the contours of her hair, caressing each strand before gliding down to her cheek. The warmth of her skin under his touch sent a jolt of electricity through him, awakening a primal need he hadn't felt in a long time.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3R9T9N4wH
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcQyfXxBbl
But as their lips met, that familiar gnawing sense of dread lingered at the edges of his mind. Is this a mistake? he questioned silently. Yet, as he kissed her, the question faded into the background, replaced by the overwhelming need to lose himself in the moment.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbg1gyE8OF
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WEQ6mglIU
Their intimate connection was abruptly interrupted by the sharp beep of his phone. Mathis reluctantly pulled away, glancing at the screen. "We've got the coordinates for the company."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zVKqecyz
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLdwYQvBLo
Bree's expression shifted from disappointment to resolve as she rose from the bed. Without a word, they swiftly left the hotel, the air between them thick with unspoken tension. As they drove, the silence was heavy, the recent intimacy now a distant memory. Mathis kept his eyes on the road, but his mind kept drifting back to Bree. Is this all we are now—two people on a mission, using each other to forget the darkness that surrounds us?
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09RUYnDxGN
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVLEbci5mu
The surrounding area grew increasingly desolate with each passing mile, a stark contrast to the bustling city they had just left behind. The loneliness of the road seeped into Mathis's bones, heightening the sense of isolation that had been gnawing at him since they arrived.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazU8rYhM38
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Z4CnvZDo
As they finally reached a quiet, isolated road on the city's outskirts, Mathis's eyes fell upon a sprawling structure by the waterfront. Bringing the vehicle to a stop, he retrieved a pair of binoculars and began calmly surveying the surroundings. The tower appeared imposing, enclosed by a perimeter fence, while guards maintained a regular patrol on foot and in vehicles. The air smelled of salt and distant rain, the tension thickening as he realized how fortified the building was.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UIcdrUw6W
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13IvkYtx7
This won't be easy, he thought, a familiar metallic taste of fear settling on his tongue. "The building is heavily fortified. I recommend we attempt this at night. Take a look for yourself."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ40s3UVPt
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSY0BR5Dki
Passing the binoculars to Bree, he watched as she surveyed the scene. Her brow furrowed in concentration, her breathing steady. She was always calm under pressure.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3s3QdPU4e
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9Wlow90g
Under the cloak of night, Mathis and Bree cautiously made their way toward a towering office building adorned with dazzling lights that pierced through the darkness. The city felt eerily deserted, as if the very air had taken on the weight of their mission. Most of the staff had departed, leaving the streets silent, save for the faint hum of distant traffic. The duo approached a formidable fence marked with bold trespassing warnings. Mathis, ever the professional, skillfully handled a laser cutter, igniting a shower of sparks as it sliced through the metal barrier. The only sound in the stillness was the gentle whir of the tool, yet his mind was a storm of thoughts.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4TBiEK6KQ
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUYNwvztLv
This should have been a straightforward job, Mathis mused, his jaw tightening. In and out, no complications. So why do I feel like we're walking into a trap?
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkA84Ld8eB
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqo3Qw3rDu
Bree, standing beside him, was equally on edge. Her eyes darted to the shadows, scanning for any sign of movement. She couldn't shake the unease gnawing at her gut. We've done jobs like this before, so why does this one feel different? Bree wondered. She glanced at Mathis, catching the tension in his posture. For a moment, she considered voicing her concerns but decided against it. He's got enough on his mind without me adding to it.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5SaIExPkF
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoTjb2zJYH
With the fence breached, they slipped through the opening and ventured into the enclosed area. A hush fell over the surroundings, the once faint city noise now completely drowned out by the pounding of their own hearts. The sound of their footsteps echoed across the expansive green expanse, a stark contrast to the isolation they felt. They suddenly stopped beside a motionless truck, a solitary figure of tranquility in the vast open area. It seemed like the perfect moment to advance, but a glance at the increased number of guards made them both uneasy.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgdTCegqmB
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGplWKNPIFH
Mathis clenched his fists. Damn it, I hate it when Intel is wrong. He glanced at Bree, who was already eyeing the guards with calculated precision. She's always so calm, even when things go south. How does she do it?
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGD6zbqjwH
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaouVaC6uf
Bree noticed his gaze and offered a reassuring smile, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. Stay focused, Mathis. We've handled worse. She tried to project confidence, but the sight of so many guards was unnerving. We can't afford any mistakes tonight.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFxPxG37F9
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2YCB64ICZ
When the opportunity presented itself, they dashed across the road and hurried toward the side entrance door. The urgency in Mathis's voice was barely concealed. "Pick up the pace, Bree," he whispered urgently, glancing over his shoulder as two guards appeared to be heading in their direction.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi316H0diA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40HlkSvI1H
"I'm on it," Bree responded, her voice steady despite the rising tension. She carefully extracted a small, sleek box from her pocket. Placing the device against the electronic lock, she watched as it emitted a soft beep. The lock's indicator changed from red to green, and she felt a brief flicker of relief. At least something's going right tonight. As the door swung open, they hurried inside, narrowly avoiding the guards as they rounded the corner.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedpIOAgiuO
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9M8V6nd4p
"That was a close call," Bree muttered, wiping beads of sweat from her forehead. "We'll need to move even quicker next time."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNap90JQEh
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJV2CJhZfA
"Agreed," Mathis replied, his tone clipped. We can't afford any more close calls. Not with what's at stake.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHppOCZ5dAA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqvvTwcyfq
As they glanced around the emergency stairwell, Bree managed a small smile in response. The walls were illuminated with a soft, comforting green light, and discreet cameras were strategically positioned at various points. This place is too secure for comfort, Bree thought, her mind racing as she assessed their situation. Whoever set this up knew exactly what they were doing.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf0uVXErE0
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTQ31LEIRi
Mathis carefully extracted the watch from his arm, anticipation building in the air. Brillo better be right about this, he thought, pressing the two buttons as instructed, his fingers trembling with a mix of excitement and dread. He hoped the cameras were now deactivated. Slowly, they descended the stairs, hyper-aware of the surveillance cameras at every turn. Mathis silently prayed the system would function as promised, knowing the success of their mission hinged on it. If this fails, we're as good as dead.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxer6z9KU1
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0Kl1ZLyue
When they reached the basement, the main entrance to the data storage loomed ahead. Mathis bent down and opened the door slowly, peering into a long gray corridor with a guard seated at a central desk. Large glass windows lined the corridor, offering a clear view of the massive black computer systems up and running inside.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2q3q6WpGh
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0qWw9OIxf
This is it, Mathis thought, feeling the weight of the moment. No turning back now.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPfpfIvdWm
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYor6o5zShT
He quietly turned the doorknob and slipped into the dimly lit hallway. Moving cautiously, almost as if gliding, he kept his body low and close to the wall as he approached the guard. As the guard reached for his coffee mug, Mathis acted swiftly, sliding his arm around the guard's neck and applying pressure until the man slumped unconscious in his chair.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pcqe40IAb
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kfh7FKCLf
Bree watched from the shadows, her heart pounding. Every time he does that, I hold my breath, she thought, feeling a mix of admiration and anxiety. He makes it look easy, but I know it's anything but.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz0iJ9kgyT
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW2TsFUCjd
As they approached the main door to the data center, Bree kept a sharp lookout for any patrolling guards. One wrong move, and we're done for. With a swift, stealthy movement, Mathis slipped the access card he'd taken from the guard into the lock, and the door slid open, granting them entry.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJj4vLTAoa
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuwAAgw5nA
The room was engulfed in darkness, illuminated only by a haunting blue light that cast eerie shadows. The towering black machines loomed before them, their presence imposing and otherworldly. Bree's breath caught in her throat as she took in the sight of 12 imposing electronic data blocks within the colossal chamber.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02OdHdHJa
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56P4gVNwIR
How the hell are we supposed to take all of this down? Bree thought, a surge of doubt washing over her. She turned to Mathis, her astonishment clear on her face. "Is it possible for us to shut down all of these systems?"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfm6oZl438
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleG8zW7O5u
Mathis's mind raced. I'm no computer geek. I prefer things that go boom, not... whatever this is. He fumbled for his phone, frustration bubbling to the surface. "Hi, Brillo. I need your help."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2JhmMuuDV
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPWwTS4r68
"Hello, Kristensen," came Brillo's calm voice on the other end. "You'll need to locate the main computer. Use the mini USB stick hidden in the watch I provided. Once you insert it into the main computer, the contents of the USB stick will install automatically."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0zGUZ1tVv
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7S5fzvGN
Mathis listened, tension mounting. This better work, or we're screwed. He glanced at Bree, who was pacing slightly, her eyes darting around the room. She's worried too. We can't afford to lose our nerve now.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFK1nwqrwc
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlHBxmYQMo
"So, Brillo, you're suggesting we simply insert the USB stick, and the computer will handle everything else?" Mathis asked, skepticism creeping into his voice.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ypqHc26ST
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQgbcYeZh
"Yes, Mathis," Brillo replied, his confidence unwavering.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MpKcafgtL
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBFKzwDogY
Mathis nodded, though he wasn't entirely convinced. This is too simple. Things are never this simple. He carefully inserted the mini USB stick into the main computer. The system responded immediately, initiating the software download, the progress displayed on a small adjacent screen. As they anxiously awaited the completion, the sound of approaching footsteps caught their attention.

161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQy0R6gYwC
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgBcc97hoj
Bree's heart skipped a beat. Damn it, we're out of time. She shot Mathis a warning look before slipping into the hall to intercept the approaching guard. "I'll handle this," she whispered, her voice steely.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EESBr0O5C
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMDr2qhT99
Amid the tension, Mathis was startled by the sudden sound of gunshots, followed by Bree's piercing cry.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvojW24IF1O
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp0SKWc9dg
"Mathis! We need to leave this place immediately!" Bree exclaimed, panic lacing her voice.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB25FaPR68
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZihQPbGrBJ
Mathis's blood ran cold. No, no, this can't be happening now. He dashed out of the computer room, his mind reeling. The system hadn't finished downloading, and he knew leaving now could jeopardize everything. But Bree...
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgnt8sPAJq
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejznurxRWA
He stumbled into the hallway, where Bree stood over a security guard's body, her face pale but determined. "We must get out now, or we'll be caught!" she shouted, her desperation mirroring his own.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdE4yWyJg
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn7jsMeXi9
Mathis's mind raced. "What about the download?" he asked, torn between completing the mission and getting Bree to safety.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ypsi11QyD
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU74W1uN7FP
"I hope it's finished," Bree replied, her voice strained. "But we can't stay to find out."
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgswU6Dosu1
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgM4rF6U0
Mathis cursed under his breath. We're in too deep. He hastily grabbed the USB stick, hoping it had done its job, and sprinted towards the exit. As they reached the door, Mathis glanced outside. The facility was eerily quiet. Too quiet. This is bad.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcwo5qEPk7
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbkMBQmEam
"Stop! Stand still!" a guard shouted, his voice cutting through the silence like a knife.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wXnVAEjIX
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9tHKQrzS
A shrill alarm suddenly pierced the air, and Mathis's heart sank as a swarm of guards appeared, sprinting towards them. He and Bree swiftly sought refuge behind the weathered truck they had sheltered behind earlier.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCswd1SHREc
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAnYV3PkaB
"This is about to get ugly," Mathis muttered, his mind racing with escape plans. We're trapped. How the hell are we going to get out of this?
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6IFSLzZyD
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBGpGMFS3x
Bree, already reaching for her weapon, shot him a mischievous grin despite the danger. "Well, this was supposed to be a piece of cake, wasn't it, Mathis?"
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDdueQHxqX
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dLPtj82VM
Mathis tensed as the unmistakable staccato of automatic gunfire echoed towards them. He focused intently on the truck as a guard unleashed a barrage of bullets from his assault rifle, the shots landing perilously close to Mathis's head. Reacting quickly, Mathis dropped into a crouch and returned fire, sending several rounds towards the guard.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz5h3QW9tA
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pJuZa7wVu
The guard let out a pained cry as he crumpled to the ground. More guards came running from various directions, their shouts blending with the reverberating gunfire in the expansive building. Mathis and Bree unleashed a volley of shots at the oncoming guards, the thundering sounds creating a symphony of chaos. The air was thick with the sharp crack of bullets and the anguished screams of the falling guards.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqPm3ci8PB
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0PukOpARQ
As Mathis scanned the area, he spotted two ominous black SUVs pulling up at the entrance. Two civilian guards emerged from the building, followed by Eva. Shock and dread swept through him as he locked eyes with her.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKYOTCiqS
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAGvYDoGGx
How did it come to this? Mathis thought, his breath catching in his throat. Eva—the woman he'd once trusted—stood there with a cruel smile, her eyes devoid of the warmth he remembered. Their past flooded back to him in an instant: the late-night conversations, the shared laughter, the missions where they had each other's backs. And now, she was on the other side, her allegiance with the Shadow Front a dagger to his heart.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvVg5qKQZs
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnooXaEWP
A chilling smile spread across Eva's face as her eyes turned dark with malice before she disappeared into one of the SUVs. Mathis felt as though he'd been sucker-punched in the gut by the sense of betrayal. With narrowed eyes, he swiftly aimed at the nearest guards. Bree dashed toward a small shed by the fence, prompting Mathis to follow, but he paused as he reached a towering advertising sign for the building.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQzZKq7QC
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgYbXMjaTM
He set up the gun and breathed calmly. Turning toward the guards running towards them, he squeezed the trigger. Bullets flew out of the barrel, and the screams of wounded guards filled the air as they fell to the ground.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gz91Bm1qe
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHfzbRmsAt
Mathis blinked before pulling the trigger again, sending bullets toward the large truck they had been hiding behind earlier. A massive explosion followed as the truck erupted in flames, throwing several guards aside from the force of the blast. Mathis scanned the area to ensure no more guards were nearby before noticing the two black SUVs pulling away.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxURzKcsfI
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYLtpWG7GF
As the SUVs disappeared into the distance, a part of him wanted to chase after them—to demand answers from Eva, to know why she had chosen this path. But he knew better. There were no answers that could heal the wound she had just inflicted.
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5Ywtfb72J
161Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rPmzf7Qo9
He quietly holstered his gun and rushed toward the fence, where he met Bree. Together, they leaped into the waiting car and sped away from the chaotic scene. A deep sadness lingered in their eyes as they shared wordless emotions—the distant echoes of explosions adding to the tense atmosphere between them.
