I watched in awe as she navigated through layers of encryption and firewalls with the ease of a ghost passing through walls. "Here," she said suddenly, pointing to a string of text on the screen. "Our first clue."
The message was a plea for help, coded in desperation and fear. "She's smart," Lina said with a hint of respect. "She's left us a trail, but it's faint. We need to move quickly."
