The team reached the base and handed over the scientist for interrogation. They all went to rest.
Towards the evening, Ansem and Roger came together since they had a hunch about something.
"The research centre was destroyed. And also all the people in it", Ansem stated.
"Yes, it was a ruse for us. The mole had informed them about our coming too, so naturally they laid out the perfect plan", Roger said.
"Then what about all the researches over there?"
"It was all virus which had just been developed according to the reports"
"They knew we were coming and they put their researches there"
"Hmm...something's not quite right"
"Since they knew of our plan, maybe they had transported all the developed viruses somewhere. Or else why would they blow up their own base in order to finish us"
"You're right. Lets go interrogate that mad person",Roger lead the way.
Interrogation room---
The mad scientist had been sitting there alone with a gloomy face not saying anything.
Outsude the room,"We are here to interrogate that man" Roger stated to the guards standing there.
"You can go in,Sir"
Roger went in and sat down in front of the person whose head was down as if in deep thought.
Ansem was still standing and circling around the whole room glancing at the man every now and then.
"Would you like to tell us where did all your researches went?", Roger began with a smile.
Anyone who looked at him would be in a daze and comply to everything he said.
The man stared at him with bloodshot eyes,"How did you know?"
"It was very easy of course. Do you think the Kraits would blow up so many of their valuable things with their researchers too?"
Roger began slowly.
Ansem added,"Since you finished your part they tried to confiscate you too together with the evidence. Hmm ..nice plan"
By now, he had sat down in front of him was staring at him with his deep black eyes. One look and you would be sucked into that void of his.
The person started laughing like crazy," Do you think he will let you live ? You are destroying his carefully laid out plans, you will all be destroyed soon"
Roger sneered,"Do you think he will let YOU live? If he got the news dont you think he will try to kill you since you know of his plan?"
The man stopped laughing abruptly and his face turned white. Roger understood from his expression that he did know something about the Kraits. He glanced at Ansem.
"Where did they go with the viruses?", Ansem questioned indifferently.
The man started shaking and was contemplating whether to tell or not. He could get protection here in the military of course but it won't be long. But its better to be alive for now. He didn't want to die by his hands since he had seen many gruelsome death by his hands. He could never forget it.
"All of them were taken to their headqaurters. Everything is there...medical facilities, weaponry, research centre, and many more."
Roger demanded,"You went there already didn't you? Where is it?"
"I swear i went there but all the people who went there were transported in a big blackout vehicle with our eyes blindfolded. No one knows the place. But i do know it is deep in the mountains with thick tall trees enough to cover the whole base. The headquarters isn't a large tall building but rather a two storey wide structure. I know only that, nothing else"
Ansem and Roger stared at him and then left. After they left, the man still couldn't help shaking. Their eyes were those of wolves who were hungry all the time and could never be satisfied. Somehow, he felt they were even more dangerous than that of his boss' eyes.
Everything was reported and recorded and given to the higher ups to analyse. After two days they would held a meeting again to discuss the next step.
Kraits headquarters---
"He is alive still?", the man in the black sipped his tea with gusto.
"Yes Young Master. He was saved somehow and brought to back to their base."
"Great ...two of my men got kidnapped! Call that mole and ask him to report ", the man said casually.
Out of the shadows, his advisor came smiling,"Why care for such trivial things? We already have everything already. Even if they try to stop us, it will be too late"
"They sure are lucky to have got out of there alive. See?", he turned towards the computers fitted on the wall.
He clearly saw groups of people in the military uniform. The cameras were fitted in the trees so they knew everything. The advisor was smiling but his smile seemed to have froze when he saw a particular figure. The young man saw this and smiled,"If i remember correctly, he is the secong young master of your family right, Mr. Vaughlan?"
The man looked at him and saw his smile which was not yet a smile and sighed,"I didn't think he was this strong. He was a weakling back then"
"Looking at him i dont think so. He must've been deliberately hiding it since his curves and body is in perfect shape!"
The man looked at the young man with an obscure expression but it faded at once and was replaced by his classic stoic, indifferent expression. While the young man stared at Ansem through the cameras and the side of his mouth curled up.
