It was already night, and Brielle had been pretending to be unconscious, listening as the noise outside grew louder.
She frowned, hearing a rustle near the window.
This was the signal she and Ricardo had agreed on. She quickly got up and moved to the window, where, sure enough, Ricardo was waiting.
"Brielle, I've checked everywhere else. Fisher's laptop isn't anywhere to be found. It’s probably in your room. But the folks left at the base aren’t just top-notch assassins; they've got hackers too. The second you touch Fisher's laptop, they'll know."
Brielle's eyes narrowed. "What if I force Fisher to delete those videos himself?"
Ricardo stiffened, caught off guard by her suggestion. But what could they use to threaten Fisher?
By now, the guy probably wasn’t scared of anything.
"Ricardo, get inside and hide under the bed."
Ricardo, unsure of Brielle's plan, was about to climb in when the door swung open.
It was Fisher.
From his angle, all he could see was Brielle standing by the window, smirking as she approached.
"Looking gorgeous as ever. Seems Bryan woke you up. Let me check if you're hurt."
This was his turf; he had no reason to be cautious.
Besides, he never imagined Brielle would dare to pull any tricks.
As Fisher lunged at her, Brielle spun around.
With a swift judo move, she slammed him hard onto the floor, then, without hesitation, grabbed a cup nearby and shoved it into his mouth.
The cup was large, tearing the corners of Fisher's mouth. He couldn’t remove it, leaving him staring at Brielle in shock and fear, blood trickling from his lips.
Brielle noticed his belt had come undone. She scanned the room and found a dagger.
Their guns had been taken long ago. Armed with the dagger, she approached Fisher.
Fisher, still trying to remove the cup from his mouth and dazed from the slam, couldn't muster the strength to resist.
Brielle stepped on his chest and looked outside.
"Ricardo, come in."
Ricardo, still outside the window, was stunned by Brielle's smooth moves.
