"Start talking," Becca commanded, her gun steady as she confronted the head of the operation, who maintained his composure despite his initial surprise.
"You must be the one disrupting the affairs of our branches," he remarked casually, moving to the fridge to pour himself a drink before settling onto the bed, ready to engage in discussion with Becca, who stood unwavering with her gun aimed at him.
As the head of the operation noticed the absence of his file and ring, he questioned Becca about her intentions. He proposed offering her more money if she had been hired by someone else to take him out, impressed by her ability to bypass his security and guards. Additionally, he suggested that she join forces with him, offering her a position within his organization. However, Becca staunchly refused, declaring her purpose to dismantle all that the T.A.B.L.E. stood for before confronting their main headquarters.
"I admire your courage, but even I myself do not know the whereabouts of the organization," the head of the operation admitted. "That's the intriguing aspect of those in power, pulling the strings from the shadows to ensure they're never traced back. Everyone has skeletons in their closets, and the T.A.B.L.E. controls bustling activities to a degree that even government agencies cannot fathom."
"But there were two individuals who almost succeeded in exposing the T.A.B.L.E., posing a significant threat to the organization. They had to be silenced for good to protect our secret," the head of the operation revealed, inadvertently reminding Becca of her parents. "However, that's all in the past now. No one has dared to pull such stunts again or even come close."
"Don't get too cocky about it," Becca cautioned, her resolve unshaken.
"Oh, and what makes you think we can be touched?" the head of the operation challenged.
In response, Becca calmly explained that her allies had successfully infiltrated Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, and had already alerted the authorities, who were en route to shut down operations there. Furthermore, they were also on their way to shut down the business on Isle Royale, Michigan, where they currently stood.
Hearing Becca's revelation, the head of the operation was momentarily stunned by the audacity of their coordinated actions. Before he could react, a shot rang out, striking his hand and causing him to involuntarily drop his cellphone to the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Becca swiftly subdued him, rendering him unconscious with a precise strike from her gun.
As the authorities arrived with their boats to shut down the operation, Becca used the chaos to her advantage, slipping away unnoticed. The swift and coordinated action of the authorities led to the confiscation of assets and the arrest of the head of the operation. Additionally, they were baffled by the anonymous tips that had led them to locate both islands, which had remained elusive for years. Becca's silent disappearance left them with more questions than answers, adding to the intrigue surrounding the operation's downfall.
As Becca departed, she communicated with Alex and Cynthia, arranging to meet at their secure hideout. Upon their reunion, Alex and Cynthia expressed excitement over the success of their first mission against one of the T.A.B.L.E.'s branches, but they remained aware that there was still work to be done. The victory only fueled their determination to continue their fight against the organization.
As Alex presented the flash drive to Cynthia and connected it to their system, they were met with shocking revelations. The contents mirrored the confidential file held by Becca, confirming that the T.A.B.L.E. was indeed plotting something terrifying. Their plans extended beyond mere criminal activities—they aimed to overthrow governments and seize control of the affairs of every country. The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on them as they realized the magnitude of the threat posed by the organization.
The scale of the T.A.B.L.E.'s ambition became clear as Becca, Alex and Cynthia delved deeper into the contents of the flash drive. Their ultimate aim was to seize control of America, the world's leading superpower, knowing that by doing so, they could effectively control the entire world. With America under their sway, other major powers like China, Russia, and the European Union would inevitably succumb, allowing the branches under the T.A.B.L.E. to extend their influence and seize power over countries across the globe. The enormity of their plan underscored the urgent need to dismantle the organization before their nefarious agenda could be realized.
As Becca examined the four rings she had acquired, each adorned with unique symbols, she realized that when placed together, they formed a cryptic message. However, the message was not immediately clear—it seemed to resemble a route, a compass, or perhaps a word with symbolic significance. Despite its ambiguity, Becca recognized that deciphering this message could hold the key to uncovering further secrets or unraveling the T.A.B.L.E.'s hidden agenda.
Cynthia's suggestion struck a chord with the team, and they resolved to acquire all the rings from the heads of each operative in the T.A.B.L.E.'s cartels. They recognized that these rings could hold valuable clues or unlock further secrets about the organization's operations and hierarchy. With the information they had gathered, they began executing their plans with precision, systematically shutting down each cartel hidden in plain sight. Some operations were revealed to government agencies for apprehension, exposing the branches of the T.A.B.L.E. effortlessly where the government had previously struggled. This concerted effort marked a significant step towards dismantling the organization and bringing its nefarious activities to light.
As Becca, Alex, and Cynthia delved deeper into their mission to dismantle the T.A.B.L.E.'s branches, they encountered increasingly dangerous adversaries and faced new challenges at every turn. With each cartel they targeted, they unearthed more secrets and uncovered the extent of the organization's reach. However, their victories did not come without sacrifices.
During a raid on a T.A.B.L.E. stronghold in a remote desert location, Alex was gravely injured while protecting Cynthia from a surprise attack. The sight of her friend lying wounded stirred something within Becca, igniting a fierce determination to bring justice to those responsible.

With Alex recovering in their safe house, Becca and Cynthia pressed on, driven by their shared mission and the desire to avenge their fallen comrades. Their search for the remaining cartel leaders led them to the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro, where they encountered a network of underground operatives with ties to the T.A.B.L.E.
Navigating the labyrinthine alleys and shadowy corners of the city, Becca and Cynthia faced off against ruthless mercenaries and cunning enforcers, each confrontation pushing them to their limits. Yet, amidst the chaos and danger, they found unexpected allies in the form of local activists and former adversaries seeking redemption.
As their hunt for the remaining cartel leaders intensified, Becca, Alex, and Cynthia discovered a shocking truth that threatened to shatter everything they believed about the T.A.B.L.E. and its origins. Buried deep within the organization's archives was evidence of a clandestine experiment gone awry—a project known only as "Project Phoenix."
Intrigued and alarmed by this revelation, the trio embarked on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind Project Phoenix, tracing its origins to a secluded research facility hidden deep in the Amazon rainforest. There, they confronted the architects of the project, a group of scientists and engineers driven by ambition and hubris.
As Becca, Alex, and Cynthia confronted the masterminds behind Project Phoenix, they uncovered a dark conspiracy that threatened not only their own lives but the fate of humanity itself. With time running out and the T.A.B.L.E. closing in, they raced against the clock to expose the truth and put an end to the organization's nefarious schemes once and for all.
In a final showdown against the forces of darkness, Becca, Alex, and Cynthia fought side by side, their determination unyielding, their resolve unbreakable. With courage and sacrifice, they emerged victorious, bringing an end to the reign of terror orchestrated by the T.A.B.L.E. and ensuring that justice prevailed in the face of adversity.
As the dust settled and the echoes of their battle faded into the night, Becca, Alex, and Cynthia stood united, their bond stronger than ever. Though their journey had been fraught with danger and uncertainty, they emerged from the shadows as heroes, their names etched into the annals of history as champions of justice in a world plagued by darkness.
In the government facility where the head of the cartel from Isle Royale, Michigan, was held for questioning, a silent assassin from the T.A.B.L.E. infiltrated the premises. Before the mercenary's lethal deed, he interrogated the cartel head about his failure to fulfill his duties. In a twist of fate, just before his demise, the cartel head assured the mercenary that he had not divulged any information to the government. Additionally, he disclosed that the confidential file had been taken from him, alerting the T.A.B.L.E. to the potential threat posed by Becca Fisher and her allies.
As the cartel head pleaded for his life, desperate to avoid the mercenary's deadly hand, he revealed another crucial piece of information—he possessed CCTV footage of the intruder responsible for sabotaging the organization's branches. Despite his fervent pleas, the mercenary remained unmoved. In a swift and merciless act, he ended the cartel head's life with a single shot to the head. With the deed done, the mercenary vanished from the government facility without a trace, leaving behind a scene of confusion and despair.
Following his orders, the mercenary ventured into the ruins of Isle Royale, Michigan, where he discovered the crucial CCTV footage revealing the conversation between the head of the cartel and Becca Fisher. Recognizing the importance of this evidence, he made a copy of the footage for the T.A.B.L.E. before swiftly destroying the original to eliminate any trace of their conversation. Satisfied that his mission was complete, the mercenary departed from the scene, leaving behind no evidence of his presence or the incriminating footage.
As the high-ranking members of the T.A.B.L.E. convened in their main headquarters, they recognized the urgent need to address the threats posed by those disrupting their branches. Determined to send a clear message, they authorized bounties on these individuals, dead or alive, by any means necessary.
As the high-ranking members of the T.A.B.L.E. were engrossed in discussion, a mercenary entered the room with news of success. With a confident stride, he presented evidence of his completed mission to the attentive high table. The footage he provided confirmed the successful execution of his assignment, eliciting nods of approval and satisfaction from the assembled members.
The mercenary was tasked with neutralizing the head of the cartel in Isle Royale, Michigan, who had been taken into government custody for questioning. This preemptive strike aimed to eliminate him before he could potentially reveal sensitive information about the T.A.B.L.E.'s plans, safeguarding the organization's secrets at any cost.
As the high table members reviewed the footage, they were impressed by the mercenary's success. However, one of the mercenaries present suddenly experienced a flash of recognition upon seeing a familiar face in the video. With a sense of urgency, they notified the high table of their observation, prompting a closer examination of the footage and raising questions about potential connections or hidden agendas within the organization.
As the mercenary recounted the events involving the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Fisher and their escaped daughter, he expressed certainty that the woman seen in the footage was indeed their elusive target. His revelation sparked fury among the members of the high table, who were unaware of the potential threat posed by Mr. and Mrs. Fisher's daughter. Little did they know that this woman was on a path of vengeance, determined to destroy the organization that had torn her family apart.
"The bounty still stands," declared one of the members of the high table, his tone resolute. "And now that she and her allies have disrupted a portion of Project Phoenix, she must be stopped before she undermines the rest."
"Send word to all branches across the globe," he continued, his voice carrying a sense of urgency. "Becca Fisher must be eliminated."
His final words carried a weight of seriousness as he emphasized the importance of success, leaving no room for failure in carrying out the high table's directive.
Author's Note
Project Phoenix could be linked to the T.A.B.L.E.'s ambition to seize control of America as the world's leading superpower in terms of political, economic, and military influence.
For instance, Project Phoenix could involve:
1. **Political Maneuvering:** The project might focus on manipulating elections, bribing politicians, or orchestrating political crises to weaken America's leadership and pave the way for the T.A.B.L.E.'s ascension to power.
2. **Economic Subversion:** Project Phoenix could encompass schemes to undermine America's economy, sabotage its industries, or exploit its resources for the benefit of the T.A.B.L.E., thereby weakening America's global standing and bolstering the organization's own influence.
3. **Military Strategy:** The project might involve covert operations, cyberattacks, or acts of terrorism aimed at destabilizing America's military capabilities or sowing discord within its armed forces, making it easier for the T.A.B.L.E. to assert control.
4. **Information Warfare:** Project Phoenix could encompass efforts to manipulate public opinion, spread disinformation, and control the narrative to undermine America's reputation and erode trust in its institutions, ultimately facilitating the T.A.B.L.E.'s takeover.
By tying Project Phoenix to the T.A.B.L.E.'s goal of seizing control of America as a world power, the narrative gains a clear and compelling objective for the protagonists to thwart, while also highlighting the stakes and consequences of the organization's actions on a global scale.
