A week had passed since the disastrous bombing, and Cecilia was now in Algeria, meticulously overseeing the completion of another Junction Tower.
This time, however, the atmosphere was charged with a palpable tension, the security protocols intensified exponentially. Her gaze swept across the construction site, sharp and focused, scrutinizing every movement, every shadow.

*BEEEEEEEP!!!*
The sudden clamor of a loud sensor pierced the air, sending a wave of alert through the site.
Cecilia's reaction was instantaneous; her figure blurred into motion, swiftly followed by a cadre of heavily armed guards.
