Chapter 56
The elevator descended toward the lower floors of the building.Rowen stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the list Jeta had sent to his phone. Chloe stood beside him, reading the details over his shoulder.“R-17 was approved two years and eight months ago,” she said. “Natasha had already been in a coma for several months by then.”“Yes.”“So someone moved her after the mission, and the transfer was hidden under your identity.”Rowen scrolled through the file again.“The record says she was recovered. It doesn't say from where.”“Can Jeta trace the transfer?”“She is working on it.”The elevator doors opened.Rowen walked out into the lobby, where several staff members greeted him. He acknowledged them briefly and continued toward the private exit.His phone rang before he reached the door.It was Gregory.“Supreme Regent, I found something in the old investigation files,” Gregory said.“What did you find?”“The investigation into Victor Hale was opened three years ago. The

The helicopter landed on the roof of the medical building less than ten minutes later.Rowen stepped out first.Chloe followed behind him as the helicopter lifted away from the roof and disappeared between the surrounding buildings.They entered the building through the private access door.Grace was already waiting in the hallway.“She's awake,” Grace said.Rowen stopped.“How long?”“About six minutes.”“Is she speaking?”Grace nodded. “A little. She's still weak.”Rowen walked past her.Chloe followed.They reached Natasha's room, and Rowen pushed the door open.Natasha was sitting against the raised back of the bed. The nasal cannula was still in place, and several monitors were connected to her.Her eyes moved toward the doorway.She looked at Rowen.“Richard.”Rowen walked to the side of the bed.“I'm here.”Natasha studied his face for several seconds.“You look different.”Chloe smiled from behind him.“He always does when he wants people to take him seriously.”Natasha looked

Chloe continued staring at the photograph.She looked at Natasha first, then at the younger-looking Rowen standing beside her.“When was this taken?”Rowen lowered the device.“Before the mission.”“You never showed me this.”“There was no reason to.”Chloe looked at the photograph again.“Then why would Victor Hale have it?”“That is what I intend to find out.”Rowen turned toward the vehicles.Chloe followed him.They reached the first SUV and got inside.The driver looked at them through the mirror.“Back to headquarters, Sir?”“No.”Rowen handed him the device.“Take us to this location.”The driver looked at the address on the screen.“Yes, Sir.”The SUV pulled away.Chloe sat quietly for several seconds.“You recognized the photograph immediately.”“Yes.”“Where was it taken?”Rowen looked through the window.“At a training facility.”“Which one?”“One that no longer exists.”Chloe turned toward him.“What happened to it?”“It was shut down shortly after Natasha's mission.”“Why

The elevator doors opened and Rowen walked out with Chloe right behind him.The hallway was quieter than before.A few members of the organization were still moving between offices, but most of them immediately stepped aside when they noticed the Supreme Regent approaching.Rowen didn't stop.They soon reached another section of the building where two black SUVs were waiting near the private entrance.A driver stepped out of the first vehicle and opened the rear door.Rowen got in.Chloe entered from the other side.The driver closed the doors and returned to his seat.“Where to, Sir?”“The old industrial district.”“Yes, Sir.”The engine came alive.The gates opened and the vehicle drove out of the compound.A second SUV followed closely behind them.Chloe looked through the window as the buildings passed by.“You still haven't told me why you don't want the men to go ahead of us.”Rowen rested his arm against the door.“Because if someone is watching the organization, sending a larg

Rowen and Chloe stepped into the hallway and the wooden doors closed behind them.For a few seconds, neither of them said anything.Chloe looked at Rowen from the side as they walked toward the elevator.“You really intend to go back to headquarters now?”“Yes.”“After what just happened?”Rowen pressed the elevator button.“She is stable.”“You sound very confident.”“I am.”The elevator doors opened.They stepped inside.Chloe pressed the button for the upper floor and leaned against the side of the elevator.“I've known you for a long time, Richard, but I've never seen you this confident about something you just did.”Rowen looked at the numbers above the door as they changed.“I spent three years making sure I wouldn't come back without being prepared.”Chloe watched him carefully.“Prepared for Natasha?”“For Natasha, and for everything else.”The elevator continued upward.Chloe folded her arms.“Then tell me something.”Rowen turned his head.“What?”“What happened to you durin

Fee seconds after, Chloe pressed a button under the table and the roof of the room gradually slid open and a a steel ladder gradually came down till it stopped when the end had touched the floor of the room.Rowen wasted no time, he claimed the ladder and went out of the room through the roof. As he got to the top of the building, he saw a white helicopter waiting on the hanger. The pilot was already inside and the rotor blade spinning at a very high speed and making a whirring sound.Rowen got into the helicopter while he waited for Chloe who was taking her time climbing up through the ladder. The pilot greeted Rowen with a bow and he responded by waving at him.In a few seconds time, Chloe walked into the helicopter and seeing that she was i
