Problem

While I was hiding, Maria got a phone call and quickly stormed out. Once she was gone, I came out and sat in bed, but was frustratingly unable to go to sleep. Needing something simple to calm my mind, I disassembled and reassembled my new pistol. After that brief distraction, I lay in the dark, once again worrying about Mira.

I was woken by a rapid knock on the door.

When I opened it, David was standing outside and said, “Something went wrong. Get dressed and head to the trailer,” before heading that way himself.

Blinking away the sleep, I got dressed and headed out to the trailer parked behind the hotel with our vehicles.

I was the second to last one there, with Katja being the only one missing. Having no idea what “went wrong” meant, I tried to get a look at MJ’s computer screens. Unfortunately, they didn’t mean anything to me, so I was **** to wait for Katja to arrive and the briefing to commence.
