"Also, if necessary, we must break into the embassy. I hope you won't—" Ross waved. "Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. If it comes to that, I'll even charge in with you."

Alexander was surprised by the prince's offer. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

He quickly went outside and called Cameron. Things would be more efficient with Cameron's assistance.

Rhea awoke with a start from a nightmare. She was still in the laboratory, surrounded by a group of people. Some sat on the floor, others slept with their heads on tables, and the rest stood lost in thought, gathering in small, tense clusters. Unfamiliar with each other, they spoke little. Each person had different responsibilities and significant achievements in their respective fields, leading to a palpable air of mutual reserve. Fred, however, had brought them together to complete a shared task tomorrow.

Rhea felt a chill and remembered her nightmare. She had been in a car, surrounded by cages. The air conditioning was intensely cold, and she was inexplicably unable to speak. Her parents were beside her, yet they acted as if she were invisible. Maria cried while Fabian scolded her. Frustrated, Rhea tried to tell them to be quiet, but no sound emerged. She covered her ears and screamed silently, knocking on the driver's seat to get her father's attention, but to no avail. No one seemed to see or hear her. Did I become invisible? It doesn't feel as good as I had imagined. It's depressing even. The thought jolted her awake.
