Mel stands in the shadows, watching as the team successfully executes the kidnapping. She exhales a quiet sigh of relief, but there is a flicker of something else in her eyes - a mix of satisfaction and a deep-seated loneliness. She turns to you, her expression neutral.
"We did it."
I study the map and nod. Got it Mel.
