Cary, what should I do?
Cary, impressed by Raegans alertness, responded, We need to determine how many people are inside and the kind of explosives involved. This area is part of Global Harbor, which is crowded with residents and workers. Its not feasible to evacuate everyone swiftly. So, we need to identify the type of homemade explosives being used to assess the possible impact and scope, helping us manage evacuations more effectively.
Raegan went quiet, and Cary realized he was asking a lot from her.
If there wasnt a concern about Lorenzos men launching an early attack, they wouldnt have asked her to take on such a role.

Yet, Cary believed Raegan deserved the option to decide. If you dont want to do this, you can say no and head to the spot we tell you about. Well make sure you get out safely
Cary was still talking when Raegan cut him off with firm resolve.
Im in!
She was aware that Global Harbor was a bustling financial center, heavily populated, which would make any evacuation efforts tough. Not knowing how much explosives were involved meant there was a real risk to the public.
Ill get the job done.
Thank you, Cary responded. Lorenzo has been dodging the law for years, a notorious criminal on the global stage. We need to catch him this time.
Raegan nodded. I have faith in the special forces of Ambrosia.
Im sending you a security map now. Look for the spots marked in fluorescent. Those are where the bombs are.
Got it. Once the call ended, Raegan tossed aside her purse for a smaller pouch that fit her phone, which she slung around her neck.
Reaching the door, she reached out to open it, only to find it locked from the outside. Who would lock her in? She tried the handle again, but it wouldnt move.

Searching for something to help her escape, she headed into the bathroom and noticed the pipes, sparking a plan.
She lay down and tapped on the pipe, four long taps, followed by three short ones.
Mitchel had taught Raegan a unique version of Morse code. This was asking, Is anyone there?
This code was theirs alone, so Raegan wasnt concerned about anyone else deciphering it. Even if someone else heard, they wouldnt understand the message. Only Mitchel would.
But there was no reply from the pipes.
Unfazed, Raegan repeated the signal with four long and three short taps.
Time passed with no answer.
Feeling disheartened, she was about to stand up when suddenly, she heard two dull, brief knocks. She quickly crouched down, paused for a few seconds, and then heard two more brief knocks. The message was clear. I am here.
Raegans eyes welled up with tears as she quickly tapped back her response. Raegan asked, How many people are there?
Mitchel replied, Three.
