He immediately assumes it’s Agent Red and runs over to her to take her out. Her drone guard’s block you and she escapes. Agent Black takes out the guards in the dining room but now all the manors alarms are alerted. The manor is a 4-story tall tower in the middle of a tropical jungle, and Agent Black is on the top, he must escape with his life.
