Damien was quiet for a moment, his expression controlled.
"Alright." He straightened. "New plan. We treat this as a surveillance situation until we know otherwise." He looked at Marina. "I need your recon unit to find a way to get eyes inside that mall without being seen. I want to know exactly where those three are and what they're doing."
Marina's expression was focused. "I'll handle it personally."
"Good." He turned to Leonard. "Pull the students guarding the exposed north side back slightly. Reposition them somewhere less visible. If B-1 is watching from the mall, I don't want them counting our numbers."
Leonard nodded, his earlier restlessness replaced with something sharper. "I'll do it now."
"Sam, keep your unit inside and out of sight for now. If we need to move fast, I want them rested and ready, not standing in the open."
"Understood," Sam said.
