Nobody answers immediately.
Because now comes the ugly truth.
Wu won’t stop.
Not ever.
Not after tonight.
Not after the operatives defected.
Not after Hannah remembered.
Gabriel finally says it.
Quietly.
Flatly.
“Wu dies.”
The room goes dead silent.
Not shocked.
Just accepting it.
Because deep down?
We all already knew.
Russ folds his arms slowly.
“The CIA won’t officially sanction assassination.”
Gabriel’s eyes go cold.
“They won’t have to officially do anything.”
Mason smirks darkly from across the room.
“There are people at Langley who’d throw a damn parade if Wu disappeared permanently.”
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Lucas looks toward Hannah carefully.
“You okay with that?”
Killing Wu.
Not arresting him.
Not exposing him.
Ending him.
