Chapter 10
Infiltration
EXT. REMOTE FACILITY – DAWN
The first light of dawn crept over the dense forest surrounding the remote compound. The team moved silently through the underbrush—Olivia, Reid, Voight, McCall, Brennan, and Prentiss—each carrying the weight of the mission on their shoulders.
Olivia signaled to halt. "This is it. Stay sharp. The Eye's been here too long. Time to shut it down."
INT. FACILITY ENTRANCE – MOMENTS LATER
Reid knelt by the keypad lock, fingers flying over his portable device. "This system uses layered encryption—Folded Zero combined with biliteral substitution. I'm bypassing the firewall now."
The door clicked open.
Voight led the way, weapon drawn. "Stay alert. No telling what traps they've set."
INT. FACILITY CORRIDORS – CONTINUOUS
The team moved through sterile, dimly lit hallways lined with observation rooms and labs. Screens displayed data streams and surveillance feeds of victims.
McCall paused at a door marked "Experimentation." She exchanged a grim look with Brennan.
Inside, rows of restrained individuals lay unconscious, hooked to machines emitting low-frequency hums.
Brennan's voice was steady but filled with revulsion. "They're using neurotoxins and frequency manipulation to erase identities and rewrite memories."
INT. CONTROL ROOM – LATER
Olivia and Reid entered the control room, where a bank of monitors showed live feeds from across the network.
Reid's eyes scanned the data. "This is the heart of The Eye. If we can seize control, we can free the victims and expose the perpetrators."
Suddenly, alarms blared.
"Trap!" Voight shouted as armed guards poured into the room.
INT. FACILITY SHOWDOWN – MOMENTS LATER
A fierce firefight erupted. The team fought with precision and determination, pushing back the guards while protecting the victims.
Lewis appeared, surprisingly calm amidst the chaos. "You think you can stop this? The system is bigger than any of us."
Olivia faced him down. "It ends here."
INT. CONTROL ROOM – FINAL MOMENTS
Reid worked frantically at the console, overriding security protocols.
"Almost there," he muttered.
With a final keystroke, the system shut down.
The restraints released. Victims began to stir.
EXT. FACILITY – DAWN
The team emerged into the fresh morning air, battered but victorious.
Olivia looked to Reid. "We did it."
Reid nodded. "But the fight isn't over."
