*Abandoned Industrial Warehouse on the outskirts of the city* — dim, with flickering overhead lights, scattered crates and metal barrels, the smell of rust and oil thick in the air. A perfect hideout for clandestine meetings and planning dangerous missions.
In a dimly lit warehouse, a rugged bounty hunter paced back and forth, his eyes sharp beneath a weathered cap. Around him, two silent men checked their weapons.
"She's worth a fortune," the bounty hunter said, voice gravelly. "Blackwood's daughter, and not just some spoiled rich girl. She's got info everyone wants."
One of the men nodded. "Reckon she's got dirt on more than just her old man. Levi Anderson, Lucian... they all want her quiet."
The bounty hunter's gaze hardened. "Exactly. We don't just want her—we want to make sure she can't talk."
Another man loaded his rifle. "What's the play?"
"We find her, take her alive if we can. But if she fights, we end it there. No loose ends. Boss wants this clean."
The men exchanged grim looks.
"She's dangerous," the bounty hunter added. "And if we fail, our heads are on the line."
Meanwhile....
In a dimly lit room overlooking the sprawling docks of Ravenport Harbor, the spy gathered his team around a holographic table. Cranes loomed outside the fogged windows, casting long shadows over the water.
"Ivy Knox is a liability," he said, voice low but firm. "She uncovered classified intel about our smuggling routes here at Ravenport. If that leaks, our entire operation collapses."
He tapped the glowing map highlighting the shipping yard. "The ambush is set at Dock 17, midnight sharp. No mistakes."
The team nodded, their faces grim under the flickering lights. "She either disappears or dies before dawn."
~Upscale rooftop lounge of a skyscraper at night~
sleek modern décor, city lights sparkling below, soft jazz playing in the background. A stark contrast to the gritty warehouse, reflecting the spy's polished, high-level connections and calculated demeanor.
Got it! Here's a sharp spy scene discussing the ambush and why Ivy is a target:
---
In the shadowed corner of a sleek, high-rise office, a man in a tailored suit leaned over a holographic map flickering on the table. His eyes were sharp, cold.
"The girl's become a liability," he said, voice low and controlled. "Ivy Blackwood isn't just some loose end anymore."
Across from him, another figure nodded. "She's stumbled too close to the truth. The intel she's gathered threatens everything."
The first man clenched his fists. "Lucian's been patient, but this changes everything. If Ivy isn't eliminated, our entire operation is at risk."
"Agreed," the second said, glancing at the screens tracking her every move. "The ambush is set. We hit fast, hit hard. No mistakes."
A brief silence fell, heavy with tension.
"She must be taken out quietly," the first man concluded. "No noise. No loose ends. For all our sakes."
