To "update" means to give new or recent information about a situation. Polly is not "updating" Horatio in her email. She needs to speak with Horatio to get information, not to give information.
Bruno and Polly are looking for Horatio, and they want to speak with him about a situation with the monkeys. Polly writes in her email, "We must talk regarding last Thursday's "mishap" with the monkeys".
Polly writes that she wants to meet Horatio to discuss last Thursday's mishap with the monkeys. A "mishap" is an unfortunate incident or a problematic occurrence. In this context, what has happened with the monkeys is still unknown, but we can assume there was some sort of problem.
At no point in the email does Polly write that she is going to have an "emergency meeting with Bruno". She writes that both she and Bruno are looking for Horatio and that the situation is an emergency.
