Maja didn't waste any time. The very next day, she hailed a cab and headed over to the area near Shirley's college to snoop

around.

Meanwhile, lan received a call from Bernard.

Bernard had helped him out before, enabling lan to whisk Patric away from Greenfield safely. At that time, lan had promised

Bernard that he would get his hands on the research facility's data, especially since Bernard's own son had died there. The higher-

ups were taking a serious interest in the facility.

Part of the research facility's data had now made its way to the top brass, and it was tfor lan to be recognized for his efforts.

Bernard was on the line now, asking about Patric.

lan had been responsible for Patric's removal, so it was his duty to bring him back in one piece. But Patric had vanished, and no

one knew his whereabouts.

"Bernard, this is on me. My team is on it," lan admitted his mistake.

Bernard's tone was gentle, "Our people are looking too. I heard from Fitch you've been under the weather?"

"Just a bit off, nothing serious."

"Alright, take care of yourself."

Bernard hung up, deep in thought.

He turned to a colleague, "Any leads?"

"We're close. We've tracked down his last known location."

Bernard's lips curled into a faint smile, "Good, keep searching."
