Benita fell silent for a moment before he continued, “Do you remember the uncle Brock said had opened a hotel in Bardot? His lack of contact probably has to do with his uncle. We don’t have time, I need you to take a trip to Bardot. And I‘ll need you to bring the last test sample as well. It’s our only chance”
Benita delegated this seriously, but Chyntia was focused on something else.
“Wait, Rowan. If I’m not here, what about you?
“Who will keep you safe?” Benita smiled softly and replied seriously.
“Simple, you just need to leave in secret. I will not show myself once you’ve left, and I’ll try to give you as much time as I can.”
Chyntia understood now that Benita was planning to pull a bluff.
“But isn’t this too risky?”
“It is, but it’s also the best choice we have now,” Benita patted Chyntia on the shoulder, “Don’t worry about me and go, Chyntia. I’ll be waiting for your good news…”
Chyntia nodded. Once he returned with Benita and grabbed the last test sample, he left for Bardot immediately.
To keep everything under wraps, Benita and Chyntia came up with a plan.
Chyntia would avoid Bashra’s airport and head straight to Najef, then take the flight to the capital, Bardot from there.
It might seem like Chyntia was taking the longer route, but doing so actually took less than two hours. Most importantly, this plan had the highest chance of concealing the fact that Benita was alone.
Once Chyntia left, Benita immediately passed instructions to his subordinates. He told them that he would not be seeing anyone or meeting any business partners forthe coming few days.
