046 Danger

The Shadow Unit receives Eve's report they have at most 15 minutes, to clean the outside of the Spider headquarters, but even with their enhance strength that's going to be impossible unless they all separate, and even if they did, it will still be cutting it close.

So Ruby made a decision she separate them. She ordered that in 10 minutes, everyone needs to go meet up in the courtyard.

Arc didn't talk all this time he just watches, there's nothing much he can do it's his decision to take on The Spider, and the Shadow Units are risking their lives to fulfill it, he watches with a clenched fist and Tiffa and Jarvis can feel the tension in the air they can feel the nervousness of their Boss.

With Ruby's order to separate. Eve began to guide the Shadow Unit to their respective targets. Eve continues to report

154 targets left

96 targets left

"... guards on the.... eliminated." Eve's report Continues to fall.

"Unit... take the target to your 8 o'clock"

3 minutes left.

5 targets left

4 tar..

BANG!!

Arc stood up.

"What is that?" Arc asks, looking nervous.

"Miller is down. Enemy target is in... 98% chance it's a sniper using Super high caliber rifles that got him," said Jem, who was no longer smiling.

"It's in a blind spot," said Ruby looking angry.

BANG! "That's a gunshot, give me a report!" shouted Beru

"Sir, we didn't see anything on the monitor. No guards reported an enemy..."

"That's weird, sound the alarm," said Beru seriously

"But sir..."

"I'll take full responsibility, issue a code 1," said. Beru, sweat, began to pour from his head. And despite looking very serious, deep inside he was very nervous. For he has no idea what kind of monsters are coming for them.

"Right away sir!."

"Suddenly all alarm on the headquarters rang up."

"I gathered all of you to talk about the possible war with Morgan Family," said the Head of Spider whose head was slightly covered.

"Head can we communicate with the Morgan Family, we have to be sure before we go to war." said one of the elders.

"We have been trying to communicate with them for quite some time, but all attempt ends in failure, and the men we sent never reported back." said another elder.

"That's right! I wouldn't have gathered you here without any reason, if we can avoid a war with the Morgan Family we would have, but as you can see the Morgan Family clearly doesn't want to communicate with us." said the Head of the spider.

"Head how sure are we that all this is really the Morgan Family doing and not a third party?" said one of the leaders.

"Hmm, explain," said the Head of Spider.

"United Government is far away from Eastern Emporium where the Morgan Family is located, if they are going to war it is more likely they would go for Death Crows or 7th Hell than with us because they are much closer to them, another reason is that they will leave themselves open if they send most of their forces to attack us, I feel that we are being set up, of course, Head I don't have any proof of this-"explain by one of the Leaders who looks very intelligent.

"I can see your point and in some way, I agree, but as I have said before that's only if we assume that the Morgan Family is on the same level of power as us." said another elder.

They began to bicker with each other...

"Enough!" shouted the Head of Spider

"We are getting nowhere our enemy might already be in our backyard, it doesn't matter whether it's the Morgan Family or another. What is clear is someone is targeting us, and it might be stronger than us, so my question is what can we do about it?" said the Head of Spider looking at everyone.

"Head I can pledge 80% of my forces to war, the rest will guard our bases," said one of the leaders looking very proud for being the first to speak up.

"I can send 60% head, as we can't leave our base in Jacks city undefended, especially since we are still at war with the local force there," said one of the elders.

One by one they pledge the forces they control to war, meaning their forces will be under the headquarters for the duration of the war, the Head smiles with a satisfied smile.

Suddenly an alarm sounded. Everyone stops talking

"Give me a report!" shouted the head.

A few seconds later, a lady dressed in a black robe with a white plain mask appeared before the Head and whispered something.

"Beru huh..." said the head

Nobody talked, they just waited for the Head to address them again.

"Connect me to him," said the Head of Spider

A huge projection appeared before everyone...

"Beru what's going on?!" asked the Head.

"Head a gunshot is heard outside, but our monitor didn't say anything and no one report any abnormality," said Beru respectfully

"But you still issue code 1, so you must have a reason for it, correct?" said the head.

"I have suspected that all our monitoring equipment is being hacked, and my guess is that our enemy is already on our doorstep," said Beru looking very serious.

"You do know what kind of equipment we have, do you really think it's possible to hack it without us knowing?" asked the Head calmly.

"Of course Head, I understand it more than anyone it might be impossible Head, but I still stand by my decision, and I'm willing to take full responsibility for it Head," said Beru resolutely.

"Hmm... very well I didn't choose you as my head of security for nothing, but you must know the consequences of reporting a false report and disrupting a meeting on The Web right?" asked the Head

"I'm fully aware Head, in all honesty, I wish I was wrong head," said Beru seriously

Hmm, one of the eyebrows of the Head raised...

"So Beru according to you should we cancel the meeting?" asked the Head

"Not yet Head give me a few minutes to completely verify everything," Beru answered

"Very well." said the head

"Now you've heard the reason for the alarm, for now, we will continue," said the Head

"All targets eliminated" Eve reported

"Eve, how's miller's condition?" asked Ruby

"unconfirmed," said, Eve

"understood," said, Ruby

"Ida, Jeremy take care of Miller the rest proceed as planned," said Ruby emotionlessly

"Roger!"

"Eve what happens?" asks Arc.

"There's a sniper in one of my blind spots." replied Eve

"then why didn't you send someone to check it?" ask Arc with a serious tone.

"There were 369 blind spots in the surroundings of the Spider headquarters checking one by one would compromise the overall mission increasing the danger by 300% said," Eve replied

"But."

Tiffa intercept him and said "Boss this is part of the mission there's no mission without risk the Shadow Unit all knows that and they accepted it knowing the risk, nothing was hidden from them, it is nobody's fault Boss..." said Tiffa

Probably from all Arc subordinate that comes from the system only Tiffa can talk to him like that because among all of them she's the only one designed to advise and corrects their Master because she's a perfect Secretary her role is not just to help but also to advise their master.

"I see..." said Arc

"I let my emotion gets the best of me again," said Arc in his mind

"Relax Boss, I'm sure they can handle whatever the enemies got for them," said Tiffa with a smile

Arc knew was about to say I'm at fault, but he stops himself as a leader he needs to look strong and reliable even if he blames himself he can't let it shows outside, and he knows that...
