New Plan

Alison sat at her desk, staring at Carter's message on her phone. The words "Final warning" echoed in her mind, and a pit of dread settled in her stomach. She had to come up with a plan, fast. Her mission was falling apart, and the stakes were higher than ever. But something had changed—this wasn't just about completing the job anymore. It was about Henry.

The longer she spent around him, the more she realized how deeply his enemies wanted to tear him down. And now, thanks to her, he was more vulnerable than ever.

Her mind raced as she tried to come up with a way out. She couldn't complete the mission as Carter had demanded—not without betraying Henry completely. But if she didn't give Carter something, she'd be exposed, and everything would fall apart.

That's when the idea hit her.
