When necessary, it can still be used.
Like, right now.
Austin Shepherd needs to evaluate their growth in recent times.
The office building, third floor.
Agile figures swiftly arrive at the window. Belinda Nichols is half-kneeling outside the window, peeking inside.
The window is not closed, the panes on both sides are gently swaying in the cold wind, accompanied by faint sounds, adding a bit of tension to the silent night.
After surveying the situation in the room, Belinda slightly turns her head and speaks to Flossie Wright who is just one meter below.
Her voice is very low, but audible to Flossie Wright.
After speaking, she jumps into the room without making any noise.
Flossie Wright raises her eyes, just catching a glimpse of Belinda’s fading shadow. She quickens her movements, leaps to grab the window ledge, and climbs up easily before slipping into the room.
The moment she steps into the room, she sees Belinda who’s on guard duty, then turns to the open window, and bends forward slightly to see a few dark shadows below.
Without hesitation, Flossie Wright grabs the window panes and closes the window, cutting off the others’ escape route before they notice her.
Austin Shepherd said not to harm others, but he didn’t say she couldn’t block their way.
You can come in, but you’ll have to find another way out.
"There are people outside the door."
Sticking her ear to the door for a while, Belinda alerts Flossie Wright.
After locking the door, Flossie Wright walks towards it. As Belinda speaks, she casually glances at the camera in the room, then stops two steps away from Belinda.
Listening carefully, it takes less than two seconds for Flossie Wright to conclude.
Frowning, Belinda’s doubtful gaze sweeps over her.
Although she is leaning against the door and can only hear footsteps, Flossie Wright, who is about a meter away, is able to accurately determine the number of people.
Saying that she is not suspicious would be impossible.
Turning her head slightly and plainly seeing the doubt in Belinda’s eyes, Flossie Wright calmly says, "You don’t have to believe me."
Belinda pouts, weighs the situation in her heart for a moment, and ultimately chooses to believe.
The surveillance will record their expressions. If they have differences during the mission, their hard-earned cooperation could be ruined at any moment.
"What do you want to do?"
Belinda uses a declarative sentence, indicating that even if Flossie Wright has no ideas, she has her own plans.
"Capture alive."
Regarding this, Flossie Wright’s answer is rather casual.
They need to know the location of the hostages, so capturing alive anyone who can provide information...
Belinda can naturally think of it too.
After this question and answer, there’s no more conversation in the room.
Flossie Wright and Belinda exchange glances and tacitly stand on each side of the door.
This time, Belinda listens carefully. She hears only two people, their steps very slow and leisurely, but carrying an aura of stability.
They’re probably patrolling this corridor.
But for Flossie Wright and Belinda, as long as those two move back and forth, that’s enough.
Fielding back-to-back at the door and wall, both focus their attention on the footsteps outside, their noise echoing in the silent corridor.
Getting closer and closer.
In the air, the tense aura expands instantly.
