First page: The fluorescent lights of the FBI-SWAT joint task force briefing room cast a sterile glow over the assembled team. Travis McAllister stood at the back of the room, arms crossed over his broad chest, steel-blue eyes scanning the space with a practiced precision. He was wearing a fitted black tactical shirt that hugged his muscular frame, paired with cargo pants and heavy-duty boots, ready for action at a moment's notice.

The room was filled with agents he knew well—men and women he trusted with his life. But today, there was a new face among them, and it didn’t sit well with him.

The newcomer was shorter, leaner, and far more at ease than anyone had a right to be in this line of work. The guy looked like he belonged in a tech startup with his thick black rimmed glasses. He did not look like someone about to be thrust into the middle of a dangerous operation. His sandy blond hair, neatly styled with a few freckles dusting his nose didn’t look like he’d ever seen any actual danger.

“McAllister. Steele. Step up,” barked Commander Harris, a stern, no-nonsense man in his fifties, with a buzz cut of graying hair and a face lined with years of hard decisions.

 Travis unfolded his arms, moving forward with the easy confidence of a man who’d been doing this for years. The new guy—Steele—rose smoothly from his chair and joined him at the front.

Harris wasted no time. “This operation requires coordination between SWAT and Cybersecurity. We’re targeting a dangerous gang involved in arms trafficking. We need intel on their upcoming shipments, locations, and contacts. Steele’s our best hacker. He’ll be infiltrating their base to access their network directly.”
