The Case of the Mad Scientist novel Chapter 18

Chapter 18: Disappointment

“Okay, who are you?”

We were in the car, driving away from Koriyama Pharmaceutics. Aiko was at the wheel, and I was in the seat next to her, filled with questions.

“Not that I object to your help. You saved those three men’s lives as I was about to blow them away. So, who are you and why did you happen to be there?”

“I am an agent for the Company,” she said as she pulled up to our hotel and parked. “The Company” is a term used to describe the CIA by those in it, I reminded myself.

She turned to me. “My assignment is to watch over you two and give you any assistance I can. A certain person in the Company headquarters contacted me directly and gave me those orders. That is why your boss told you to call my company to rent a car and driver.”
