The Toll of Umbrax
To learn why Umbrax has spent a decade buying up Bridge keys, the team crashes a private gala above Narco City — where the only ally inside is a hostage forced to sing, and the price of getting the message out may be his life.
Siru, Marcus, Vivek and Kiki infiltrate a black-tie Umbrax gala in the consortium's tower above Narco City, hunting proof of what the bosses are really building toward. The night's 'entertainment' turns out to be Willy Jones, held as leverage and forced to perform — and Siru realizes his song is a coded warning meant only for her. The message decoded, a lockdown starts before they can act on it, and the team barely claws its way out with confirmation of Umbrax's real ambition: not stopping the exodus, but owning and taxing every door out of it. They escape with the intelligence but without Willy, who is dragged away still mouthing something Siru can't quite read.
