Ximena sat at her desk, her eyes locked on the screen. The latest decoy designs had been uploaded to a secure drive, and her team had monitored every single access point.

One of the fake designs had just gone public.

Her plan had worked. The mole had taken the bait.

Lisa knocked once and stepped in, a folder clutched in her hand. Her face looked pale but determined.

“We got him,” Lisa said quietly.

Ximena stood. “You’re sure?”

Lisa nodded, placing the folder on her desk. “Only five people had access to the decoy folder. Four of them were cross-checked and cleared by IT. But one person stood out.”

Ximena opened the folder and scanned the list. Her eyes stopped at a name she hadn’t expected.

“Victor Sosa?” she read aloud.

Lisa leaned closer. “He’s been working here for about seven months. Always quiet. Never caused problems. But the login records match his access time. And the leaked design was downloaded from his workstation.”

Ximena’s mouth pressed into a thin line. “I want him in my

    Carlos woke up when the door made a soft sound. He froze and listened. Footsteps came close. The door opened a little and someone stepped inside.“Tania?” he whispered.The shadow moved into the light. It was Tania. She closed the door and slid the bolt. Her face looked tired. Her hair hung loose. Her clothes were dark. She did not smile.Carlos studied her. He had seen her many times. He had listened to her plans. He had never trusted her. Now he watched her sit on the floor across from him.“Keep your voice low,” she said. Her voice was flat. She looked around like someone afraid of being heard.Carlos tried to laugh. It came out as a cough. “What are you doing here?” he asked.Tania leaned forward. She put her hand on the floor. “We need to move,” she said. “Now.”Carlos raised his eyebrows. “Move? From where? You think Alvarez will let us walk out? You think his men will look the other way?”She did not answer at once. She looked tired. “He will not let us go,” she said finally. “

    Miguel did not rest that morning. He sat at the table with maps spread out, his eyes hard. Camila cleaned her gun nearby, quiet and focused. Leo tapped on his laptop, searching through codes and cameras. Ximenna’s father slept under the doctor’s watch in the back room. His breathing was weak, but steady.“We can’t wait for Alvarez to make the next move,” Miguel said. His voice was low.Leo looked up from his screen. “If we rush, we fall right into his hands. That’s what he wants.”Miguel’s jaw tightened. “He already has Ximenna. Waiting won’t change that.”Camila set her gun down. “Then what’s your plan?”Miguel stood and pointed to the map. “We make Alvarez believe we’re bringing him the old man. We use him as bait. Alvarez will show himself, and when he does, we end it.”Leo frowned. “You’re talking about walking into his trap with our own trap. That’s a gamble.”Miguel looked straight at him. “Everything is a gamble now. We either fight back, or we lose her.”Leo leaned back, shaki

    Miguel drove fast. The road was quiet, but his chest was heavy. In the back seat, Ximenna’s father lay weak, barely breathing. Leo held his arm, checking his pulse again and again.“He’s not stable,” Leo said.Camila kept her eyes on the road behind them. “We can’t go to a hospital. Alvarez will find him in seconds.”Miguel’s hands tightened on the wheel. “Then where?”Leo thought for a moment. “I know someone. A doctor who doesn’t ask questions. But it’s risky.”Miguel looked at him in the mirror. “Call him.”Leo pulled out his phone and sent a quick message. The screen glowed in the dark car. A reply came fast. He looked up. “He’ll meet us. Safe place. Not far.”Miguel drove harder. The engine roared as they cut through the empty roads. In the back, the old man coughed weakly. His body shook with every breath.“Stay with us,” Miguel said over his shoulder. His voice was steady, but his eyes burned.The old man whispered something, but it was too soft to hear.After twenty more minut

    The three of them stepped out of the car. The air felt heavy and quiet. The two guards noticed them right away. They lifted their weapons, pointing them toward Miguel and his team.“You can’t be here!” one of the guards shouted sharply.Miguel raised his hands slightly, showing that he wasn’t holding a weapon yet. “We need to see him,” Miguel said. “It’s urgent.”The guards shook their heads. One of them stepped forward. “Turn around. Leave now. You don’t belong here.”Miguel stayed where he was. “We’re not leaving.”The guards lifted their guns higher. “Last warning!” the taller one barked.Miguel’s jaw tightened. His eyes narrowed. Every second wasted here was another second Ximenna was in danger. He gave the smallest nod to Leo.In one quick move, Leo pulled out his gun and fired. The shot hit the first guard in the shoulder, making him fall back with a cry of pain. At the same time, Camila sprinted forward, moving fast and sharp. She kicked the second guard in the stomach before h

    Miguel could not sleep. His head was full of Alvarez and what he had done. Each time he closed his eyes, he saw Ximenna tied and scared. It made his anger worse. He sat in the living room with Leo and Camila. Papers, maps, and notes were spread across the table. They had gone through everything, but nothing gave them the desired answer.Leo leaned back in his chair. “We should move now,” he said. “If we wait, Alvarez will move her.”Miguel shook his head. “We can’t run blind. That’s what he wants. He is waiting for me to rush.”Camila crossed her arms. “But sitting here is no better. He has Ximenna. Every second matters.”Miguel rubbed his face. He knew she was right. But if he made a mistake, he could lose Ximenna for good. He looked at Leo. “You said you had something. Even if it’s small.”Leo nodded. “One of Alvarez’s men was seen near the south end. There’s an old factory there. Maybe he is keeping her there. If not, it’s at least a meeting spot.”Miguel stood. “Then we go. Tonigh

    The three of them left the old house in silence. Miguel walked ahead, his boots crunching on the gravel. He didn’t say a word, but Leo and Camila could see his anger. It wasn’t just anger—it was pressure, fear, and something darker.Back in the car, Leo finally spoke. “So, what now? We keep chasing empty houses until Alvarez gets bored?”Miguel’s jaw tightened. He hated hearing Alvarez’s name, but she was right. He turned his eyes toward the road. “We don’t chase. We make him come to us.”Camila raised a brow. “And how do you plan to do that?”Miguel didn’t answer right away. His thoughts were on the message: Find him if you want her alive. Whoever Alvarez was, he wanted Ximmena’s father. That was the weak spot, the bait. Miguel knew if he wanted to save her, he would have to step into the game.They returned to Leo’s warehouse, the place now feeling less like a hideout and more like a war room. Screens lit up the walls. Maps, lists of names, old pictures of business partners and frie
