Virgo Resort
Croatia

The guards were able to liberate a jet, and they flew that to Stapleton to kill us. They knew the directions of how to get to Virgo, and we made them take us there. We also stripped them of their weapons and communications.
"Murray Hill suggested the idea when he was working for Leo," one of them said. "They could hide in plain sight and make money at the same time in case the plans fail. Most of it is completed."
Agent R, not being able to bring his van, only took some equipment with him, hidden in his luggage. Since we all didn't have much either way, cargo wasn't a problem.
By 7 AM, we arrived at Croatia. Agent R drove the rental van to the resort, having the Hales keep an eye on the guards. They weren't any trouble.
However, they tried to head for Room Building 2 as soon as we arrived.
"Where do you think you're going?" Cyrus asked.
"Shang must be hiding at that room building," Catherine noted. "They must be planning to inform him that they failed."
Orion hacked into the website and got us rooms in Building 1. Erica went to pick up the cards.
We ended up getting 11 rooms, one for each of us. They were either next to or across from each other. It was standard inside.
Once we settled into our rooms, Cyrus and Catherine decided to interrogate the guards. Nefarious took out a game console from his luggage and began playing.
I was on the balcony, doing surveillance on Building 2, which was across the sidewalk from the one we were in.
It was nothing out of the ordinary. It looked like actual rooms. I noticed some spy equipment in the rooms, but it mostly looked unused. I also spotted a bunch of gymnastics equipment on 1 of the balconys and in the room for it. Ashely Sparks was obviously staying there.
The rest of the resort was normal as well. It had a water park, loads of pools, a few restaurants, and a bunch of activities. I saw an actual racecourse with real cats, as well as go-karting, a bunch of motorboats of various sizes on the beach, and a helipad with a sign that said "SKYDIVING."
A helicopter parked on the helipad and 3 skydivers got out. Then the crew, 2 Chinese people, got out and, once the skydivers were out of earshot, started speaking.
"Keep quiet so I can hear this," Erica said behind me. She had a long-range listening device in her ear.
The guys went into Building 2, like they were guests and not Virgo employees. Nobody noticed them.
"What did they say?" I asked Erica.
"They were talking about a target," she replied. "Said that the attack should hit the western side."
"So the skydiving was a cover for reconnaissance?"
"I think so. We need to hack its GPS to find the target. Shang isn't as smart as SPYDER."
"But Joshua is working for him. He might be one step ahead."
"Likely. Only one way to check."
"Anyways, what did the guards tell you?"
"Shang had the resort staff get him the entire building. He and the leaders of his group, like the owner of the Chinese molybdenum mine, are in the penthouse. All the resort staff haven't heard anything about any evil organization and think that the place is being rented. That's all they know." She went to the room she had.
"They know nothing else?" I asked.
"Well the messages they got were the only clue. Shang is very secretive. So is Joshua. The helicopter is our only lead. We might have to infiltrate the building to see what their plans are."
"We failed the last time we did."
"Cause you decided to get involved in something you shouldn't have gotten involved in. If you didn't, we would have been fine."
I heard some shouting in Chinese from one of our rooms, where the guards were.
We ran in, and found Cyrus and Catherine fighting the guards, who had reclaimed their weapons.
"Things are not good," Cyrus said. "The guards alerted Shang that we were here. We need to leave." He alerted everyone on his phone, and we ran out into the hallway.
Since we were on the 3rd floor, the guards jumped onto the sidewalk and ran towards Building 2. We, however ran. We got into the elevators, and closed the door before anyone could spot us.
"Should we hack again to get different rooms?" Orion asked.
"No," Agent R replied. "Joshua will certainly be suspicious of any data input. We need money."
The elevator doors opened and we ran out...
Into a hallway filled with Shang's thugs.
