    Braden takes cover behind a door and engages in a shootout with his

    pursuers while Mukhtar, and two evildoers of his choice, capture the
    Governor. Braden communicates with his grandmother, Rayen, who is
    tracking Mukhtar's movements and working on finding the password to lock
    down the location. Braden learns that Mukhtar is taking the Governor to
    the roof. Braden momentarily stops shooting to deceive his pursuers,
    and as they approach cautiously, he surprises them by swiftly attacking
    with a katana, disarming them. He then heads towards the roof while
    Rayen initiates the lockdown. Upon reaching the roof, Braden confronts
    Mukhtar, who is impressed by Braden's resilience. They engage in a
    fight, during which Mukhtar releases the Governor from his control.
    Eventually, Mukhtar retreats into a helicopter, and Braden returns to
    the Governor, expressing his disapproval of the Governor's actions. The
    chapter ends with Braden identifying himself as a warrior and the
