Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 150 - Return to headquarters
...***...
"I've been really unlucky since I got here. First, I repeatedly failed to catch Elvina, after which I also failed to catch her sister. I just found out that it turns out they have really mastered their abilities, besides why am I so stupid not to explore first what abilities they have?!" Melinda grumbling.
Melinda walked down the path that is now passed by some residents who inhabit the area.
Melinda fails to catch William, but her body is made limp because of having to run after William.
Melinda's attention was suddenly seized by the noise coming from her telecosys. He was so shocked in his shock.
"Professor, department. He must have wanted to ask me about the progress of my mission. I have to how is this?" Melinda was drunk, she tried to think of a reason to answer the questions the professor later gave.
Melinda walked away from the crowd. He took his place in a very quiet part of the park without anyone visiting him.
There, Melinda immediately lifted the video link from the professor until the hologram screen appeared before her.
"Professor.. I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to…"
"Let's just talk, there's something I want to tell you about this mission you're on. Can you go back to the base and meet me?" cut the professor fast.
"K... return to base?"
"Yes. We're talking about the mission you're on."
Gawat, did the professor want to dismiss me because I never managed to catch Elvina and William? Melinda looked worried. Bad thoughts began to approach him.
"You can, right? It won't be long, there's just a few little things I want to say."
"But what little thing does the professor want to talk to me about?"
"We'll talk when you get to headquarters."
"B. well prof, I'll be there soon."
Let's hope the professor doesn't get me off the mission this time, he thought. Melinda moved out of her place.

The taxi ride by Leon and Elvina stops at a large building that is nothing but the location where Leon will meet his friends.
After paying the taxi fare with a few hundred thousand bills, they immediately went in and looked for the table that Leon's friends occupied.
"Where are your friends?" asked Elvina who had been walking beside him since then while watching Leon who was just silent while wailing.
"Attent." Leon pulled out his cell phone from his pants pocket and was about to call his friends. But first the incoming message contains a notification sent by his friends. "Oh, no," he murmured.
"What's up, sir? Is the meeting off?"
"They're pulling back on meeting time and moving it around, so it's not here. They said the meeting was moved to seven o'clock at ** Club."
"What's? That means it's a waste we came here?"
"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that they would change the time and place all of a sudden like this."
"Good," grumbled Elvina with a look of annoyance. "Then I'll go home." Elvina had just turned around, Leon quickly held her hand.
"Wait, don't go yet. Didn't you say you were gonna help me?"
"But the show's tonight. You don't need me."
