Vincent stood inside the command center, his arms crossed as he oversaw the final preparations for Rourke and Sykes to depart with their share of the treasure. Several wooden crates were neatly stacked in front of them, each one carefully packed with the ancient artifacts, gold, and jewels they had uncovered in the sarcophagus. Vincent had personally ensured that everything was accounted for, but he knew better than to leave anything to chance.

"These are the crates containing your share," Vincent said, gesturing to the pile. "I've made sure all the items are accounted for, but I suggest you double-check everything before you leave."

After several minutes, Rourke straightened up, closing the last crate with a satisfied nod. "Everything's here," he confirmed. "No items missing."

Sykes echoed his sentiment, closing another crate. "All accounted for."

Rourke glanced at Sykes before answering, his expression firm. "We're going to head back to our outpost. We'll let the others know that we've secured what we came for in Ferm. With the treasure in hand, there's no reason for us to linger here any longer."

Sykes nodded in agreement. "The city of Ferm isn't worth the risk anymore. It's clear that it's under new management, and from what we've seen, it's not a place we want to challenge. We'll take our leave and spread the word that Ferm is off-limits."

"Wise decision," Vincent replied, nodding in approval. "Ferm is a different place now, and it's best that we part ways on good terms. I'll arrange for an escort to guide you out of the city safely."

"Sir...there are elements moving from the north, there are a lot of them," one of the officers inside the headquarters reported through radio.

Vincent asked, his voice sharp as he grabbed the radio from the nearby officer.

"Negative, sir. They're moving fast, and they're heavily armed. We've never seen anything like this before. It looks like...a full assault," the officer's voice crackled through the radio.

Rourke and Sykes exchanged a worried glance, their thoughts no longer on the treasure but on the rapidly deteriorating situation around them. The uneasy truce they had with Vincent was holding, but they knew that if things continued to spiral, all bets would be off.

"We should leave now," Rourke said, his voice low but firm. "This isn't our fight, and if we stick around, we'll get caught in the crossfire.."
