Chapter 10: General Ludd's Reckoning
The Post Office's war room buzzed, screens flashing with flight paths and financial data. Peter stood at a console, his System mapping General Ludd's plan to crash a plane carrying shell company records. Strategic Deception hummed with potential. Surface goal: trap Ludd. Emotional undertone: cunning. Long-term arc: cement strategic role.
Peter planted a fake meeting point in Ludd's network, the System pulsing.
In a planning session earlier, Peter briefed the team, his voice calm.
"Ludd's after financial data. We lure him to a dummy site."
"You're betting lives on a hunch?"
Ressler's tone was gruff, arms crossed.
"It's strategy, not a hunch."
Peter's eyes met his, unflinching.
At a deserted airfield, the team ambushed Ludd's operatives, gunfire cracking under a stormy sky. Peter coordinated from a van, the System guiding.
Ressler led the raid, his trust in Peter solidifying. His calls are spot-on. He's earned this.
"Move in, Ressler! Flank left!"
Peter radioed, his voice steady.
"On it!"
Ressler barked, his team sweeping the field.
At Liz's apartment, Tom comforted her about her father's illness, his empathy a mask. The System flagged it.
The raid succeeded, Ludd's men cuffed, the data secured. Peter analyzed it, revealing Cabal ties.
In a quiet hallway, Reddington cornered Peter, his voice a velvet blade.
"You're a chessmaster, Peter. But every move has a cost."
"Care to share yours, Red?"
Peter's tone was sharp, eyes locked on Reddington's.
"Patience, my boy. All in good time."
Reddington's smile was cryptic, his fedora tilting.
At a bar (new event), the team celebrated, Ressler raising a mug.
"To Wells, the brains of the op."
"Don't go soft on me."
Peter grinned, but the System warned of danger.
In his apartment (new event), Peter stared at the System's glow.
"I'm outsmarting them, but for how long?"
He murmured, the Cabal's shadow looming.
Peter's strategic victory cemented his role, but the Cabal's attention and Tom's deception raised the stakes. His mastery came with a growing target on his back.
