Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2012

Gab nodded, "I came to Zion to do two things: destroy those viruses and more importantly, to investigate Raiden!"

The two settled onto the couch, and Jonathan asked, "Does Raiden know you guys? Was he part of your inner circle?"

Gab nodded again, "I've had my suspicions. A few of my guys have gone down, and it all ties back to him. He's got an uncanny knowledge of my people and some of the organization's secrets, making him deadly effective!"

Jonathan let out a derisive snort, "Bet he is. Got any suspects?"

Gab shook his head, "No one I work with would betray me. I've looked into a few who've left the organization, but none of them match Raiden's profile. That's why I wanted to come here personally and figure out who he really is."

Jonathan frowned, "I'm worried he might be after Ella."

Gab reassured him, "Estelle's safe for now. We'll help her complete her mission, you'll take her back, and I'll continue the investigation at my own pace."

Jonathan nodded, "The twelfth floor underground isn't the priority. I have a hunch; Triceratops wouldn't put all his chips on that spot."

"Your intuition is spot on!" Gab's eyes were steely, "Yesterday, my guys reported they'd captured one of Triceratops' confidants. Under pressure, he spilled the beans – Triceratops has secretly developed seven cobalt bombs."

Jonathan's expression darkened, "So, the microwave weapon is just a smokescreen for Triceratops' real project – those cobalt bombs?"

"That's my guess!" Gab said, "I've already sent out a team to find out where these bombs are stashed."

The vast, uninhabited areas of Citadel made it tough to locate Triceratops' hidden military bases.

"I know where they are!"

A clear voice came from the door.

Both men turned, their gazes softening instantly.

Gab asked, "Does Grandpa know you're here?"

"He doesn't. I told him I was going to abroad for a fashion show." As Estelle spoke, something occurred to her, and she suddenly turned to Jonathan, "How did you find out I wasn't in C City? Does Grandpa know too?"

It shouldn't be the case – Grandpa had sent her a video message just that morning.

Seeing Estelle's anxious eyes, Jonathan's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively shook his head, "No!"

Estelle breathed a sigh of relief, "Good!"

"It's alright!" Gab chuckled, "We'll be heading back soon enough!"

Estelle murmured in agreement, "You were talking about Triceratops and cobalt bombs. I think I know where they are!"
