The two bodyguards had already climbed into the car, one assuming the role of driver.
K said nothing his gaze lingering on the suit jacket draped over Maja’s form
Maja was now deep in slumber
Ian simply stood there, watching the car disappear from view, his eyes flashing with a sharp intensity.
He turned to Fitch behind him.
“Where’s Enc” he asked
“He’s been detained Fitch replied “He still refuses to hand over the chip Grandpa Bernard is starting to
lose his patience.
That chip was literally a lifeline for Patric, who certainly wouldn’t give it up easily.
Once surrendered, Patric would never be able to leave that confined space, forever living under the
watchful eyes of Bernard’s men.
lan climbed into his own car parked nearby
Im going to get Eric from Grandpa Bernard
Fitch’s pupils contracted sharply, his hand snatching at lan’s car door.
“Tan” he said urgently personal feelings aside, national interests always come first. Do you really think
Grandpa Bernard will take your side? Eric is under the microscope of other nations too How could
Bernard possibly hand him over to you? And even if he did, do you think Eric would just comply and let
you pull the strings? Eric isn’t the man he used to be. If anything happens to him while he’s in your
custody, it could be a devastating blow to the country”
lun simply glanced at him, signaling with his eyes.
“Get in
Fitch fell silent
They had known each other for years and were well aware of each other’s temperament.
The car headed straight for the secret zone
As they approached, the glint of sniper rifles reflected in the roadside, a clear warning.
Any sign of trouble and both of them would be taken out in the car
lans vehicle was special today, marked with a small flag upfront, granting them access to any
confidential area.
Upon reaching the grand hall, lan pushed through the doors without hesitation.
Several high–ranking officials seated inside all frowned at his entrance.
But lan walked straight up to Bernard
“Grandpa Bernard, I need to speak with you‘ he said
Bernard, clad in a sharp tweed suit, gestured for the others to leave.
Once the room was empty, he set down his cup of English breakfast tea
“Your actions just now could have gotten you shot several times over” he said sternly
The meeting in the grand hall was of high importance, potentially affecting a string of upcoming
decisions. Intruders could be accused of stealing national secrets
“Grandpa Bernard, I need Eric I need him by my side
Bernard eyed him gravely
lan, because of your covert status in North America, I stand with you. But to the others, you’re
insignificant here. Your brother is their focus. They d sacrifice you for a heartbeat, do you understand?
As one of the state, I can’t just hand over such a test subject. The secrets he cares could change the
fate of a nation.”
“Grandpa Bernard, I’m begging you”
Bernard had a soft spot for lan, having watched him grow up, a friend of lan’s late father, Holden, and
appreciative of lan’s military conduct. It was. Bernard who Holden, had arranged lan’s secret missions
abroad, bypassing others. Now with Halden gone, only Bernard knew lan’s secret identity
Frowning Bernard rose to leave
lan desperate followed him out
“Grandpa Bernard, Eric is the only one who’s been inside that research base. If I could go in there with
him again, I know we’ve lost many brilliant minds there, but we must try The base still exists. Enic just
got lucky escaping We know too little about it. Just grant me this, let Eric stay with me, and I will
uncover the truth”
laris plea was rapid following Bernard out into the downpour
Bernard too was angry now

lan knelt down
Grandpa Bernard”
But Bernard didnt even glance back, leaving him in the rain
Fitch, holding an umbrella, stood behandlan
“Tan, go back.” he said “Even with Bernard’s trust, he
such a critical time, everyone wants stability”
lan remained kneeling uttering only one sentence
Fitch, go back without me
Fitch knew then, lang mind was made up
