The Starbucks on 5th and Main is crowded, but you spot FinanceGhost at once.

He sits at a corner table in a black hoodie and sunglasses, a manila envelope in front of him. You approach. He nods and slides the envelope across. > **FinanceGhost**: *"You brought the money?"* You hand him a thick envelope, $5,000 in cash. He flips through the bills, then slides a burner phone across the table. > **FinanceGhost**: *"Lena Patel. Risk Oversight. Everything about her is in here. We set it up, you reach her using Sophie Chen as your cover, see the attached document. One time only. Don't screw this up."* He stands, leaving the burner phone on the table. > **FinanceGhost**: *"Pleasure doing business."* He walks out. You are left holding the phone, heart pounding, the café noise mixing with the adrenaline. **What do you do?** - Check with Lena Patel immediately: this is your one shot.
