Intro
Dallas at night has too many lights. Neons, streetlights, headlights—yet there are certainly things that remain "invisible." Emily Carter lightly tapped her temple. It was a habit of hers when thinking. Her gaze stopped on one of the mugshots on the wall.
She is the only one in the operations room. The monitor light flickers quietly. The target is a former military fugitive. But that's not the problem. The "way he runs" is too sophisticated. How he avoids surveillance, how he erases his tracks, the rhythm of his movement. Everything is calculated.
She sticks a note next to the photo. — Has supporters — Nighttime movement — Urban outskirts Just then, the radio crackled. 'Carter, the target moved. He's heading south.'
