Emilia and Thomas returned to their safe house, pouring over the documents and photographs Sophia had provided. They knew they had to move quickly, as the ritual was scheduled to take place in just three days.
Alexander joined them, and together they began to analyze the information. They identified potential locations where the ritual might take place and started making plans to infiltrate the society's gathering.
As they worked, Emilia couldn't shake off the feeling that time was running out. They had to be careful, as one misstep could mean disaster.
"We need to get inside the society's headquarters," Thomas said, his eyes locked onto the photographs. "We need to know where the ritual is taking place and what we're up against."
Alexander nodded. "I think I can get us in. I have a contact who might be willing to help."
Emilia's eyes widened. "Who is it?" she asked.
Alexander hesitated. "Someone from my past. I'll need to reach out to them and see if they're willing to help."
Thomas nodded. "Let's do it. We don't have much time."
As Alexander made the call, Emilia and Thomas continued to study the documents, looking for any clues that might lead them to the ritual's location.
The hours ticked by, and Emilia's anxiety grew. They were running out of time, and she knew that they had to act soon.
Finally, Alexander's contact agreed to meet with them. They made arrangements for the meeting, and Emilia felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe, just maybe, they could stop the ritual and bring the society down.
But as they prepared to leave, Emilia's phone rang. It was an unknown number, and the voice on the other end sent chills down her spine.
"You'll never stop the ritual," the voice said. "You'll never even get close."
Emilia's eyes locked onto Thomas's, a question in her mind. Who was behind the call, and how did they know their plans?
