Nyx discovers Porto hostage situation through her own intelligence network, calls Marcus to demand his team resources on her terms, negotiates full tactical authority and Circle data while lying to Declan about the operation
Nyx and Declan race to help Kira at Hassan's fortified compound. Classic pincer operation: Declan draws fire with vehicle, Nyx flanks through service entrance. They work as true partners, comms open. Kira executes Hassan - personal vengeance for her sister.
Petrov's apartment is a kill box trap. Directional charges from ceiling create firing positions. Sonya killed first (subclavian artery). Tomás wounded (femoral), bleeds out holding Sonya. Jian killed by sniper - his sister's photograph lands in his blood. Nyx clears rooms solo.
