Kapitel 147: National Secrets part 1

"You think Rika disappeared voluntarily? And what if she did? Are we going to drag her back to the new base?" the thing was, Mark had no opinion about that so he did not worry about those details. 

In the end, Rika did not have a choice in this matter as her seat of honour was secured even before she had originated in this game. For the future of this game, her presence at the same central base was necessary.

The first place they checked was Rika's lab but it looked to be untouched. Almost too perfect to be anything but a ploy to get them off her tracks. Things were placed here in a neat manner but they were not where they were supposed to be and that was a big mistake on the kidnapper's part.

This one small flaw made Mark more than aware that Rika had not been the one to set this place up. This was not how things were done here and the job was sloppy at best.
