"So, you were going to hide your identity, infiltrate their lair, seize the chance to steal intelligence, bravely battle the mastermind, then return victorious with your back to a massive explosion?"
Lulu's eyes sparkled. She raised her clenched fists before her chest. "That's amazing, Big Brother! It's just like a movie! If that's the case, then we should..."
Before the words fell, she had only just turned her head when an unfeeling iron hand seized her shoulder.
