Chapter 41: Emergence of the Psychic Spirit
The scene shifts to a quiet alley just a short distance from Ani's home.
Three men lurk in the shadows, each dressed in worn leather jackets and boots that look as though they've seen countless dark nights on the streets.
Their presence is unnerving, and they talk in hushed tones as they move forward. Mikasa has been tracking them for days, anticipating that they might make a move soon.
She watches through her digital interface, able to see their every step through a satellite feed, intent on their sinister intentions.
One of the men, tall and wiry with sharp eyes, mutters, "Brown and Davis have been missing since last night. You think they're still alive?"
The second thug, a burly man with a bald head, grunts. "Forget them. We need to worry about ourselves. If we don't bring that girl to the boss by the given location, we'll be the ones missing next."
The third thug, shorter but equally menacing, chimes in, "You sure we can just take her from her home? Isn't that risky?"
The burly man smirks. "We don't need to attack directly. We sneak in, knock her out, and leave without a trace. It's foolproof. No one will see it coming."
The two others nod in agreement, and they begin moving towards Ani's home, their footsteps silent but their intentions deadly.
Mikasa's alert system pings, and she takes immediate action, assessing their plans. Her virtual interface flares up, and she decides to contact Adam. She has no time to waste.
