Cross Group finally returned to the way it was.
However, Hailey stuck around.
Nathan and Penny invited her into their private office for a chat.
Nathan smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work, Hailey.”
Hailey smiled. “Don't mention it. I'm just doing my job. Moreover, the Secret Service finally had the chance to prove ourselves for discovering a spy.” “Who could have thought that Kendall is a spy?” Nathan replied.
“Kendall is just small fry. Her superior is the real deal.”
“Who is it?”
“There's a guy called Sheldon working as a senior intelligence officer for Ariarica. He's in charge of collecting Eurasia's intel and has lived undercover in Eurasia for a long while. He even trained a lot of people to work as his spy. We've known about him for a long time now but couldn't locate him up till now. Who would have thought that he would be exposed thanks to Kendall this time around.”
“Did you catch him?”
“He's at Alberesque right now. I already have my eyes on him in case he runs away. However, this guy is a super-soldier and is exceedingly combative. We didn't dare let our officers from Alberesque seize him. Afraid that they are no match for him. I've contacted Brimmopolis headquarters to send the ace of Secret Service over to capture him.”
“It's a seven to eight hour flight from Brimmopolis to the South. I'm worried that Sheldon will know that something's up and make his escape once he finds out about Kendall's and Thomson's arrest.”
“I'm worried about the same thing too. That's why I want to discuss it with you, Sir. Can you send Colin and Ava over with me to arrest him once and for all?”
Nathan smiled. “How about this? I will come with you and assist you with his arrest since Sheldon is an infamous spy. Take this as my token of appreciation for helping me out.”
Ariarica's Project Genesis had created a lot of super-soldiers.
Their combat prowess was top-notch even though they were flawed.
Hailey was overjoyed with Nathan's offer to come with her. She had doubted Colin's and Ava's capabilities to capture Sheldon alive before this. However, there was nothing for her to worry about now that Nathan himself was coming. “Thank you so much, Sir,” she exclaimed.
Nathan and Hailey were men of action. Nathan and Colin boarded the helicopter alongside Hailey's men and headed toward Alberesque.
After one hour, Nathan, Colin, Hailey, and her officers arrived at an unremarkable villa.
“We’ve surrounded the area. Sheldon is probably taking a nap right now,” said Hailey.
“What are we waiting for then? Let's barge in and arrest him,” Nathan replied.
With that, Nathan, Colin, Hailey, and a few aces from the Secret Service made their way toward the villa.
They managed to bypass the alarms installed on the gates with a signal jammer prepared by one of the Secret Service's agents.
He then produced two pieces of wire to pry the locked door open. Click. They had successfully broken into the villa.
He gave Nathan and Hailey an OK gesture and was about to open the door.
However, Nathan quickly grabbed his arm to stop him.
