Tragedy 157 - Cooperate

"She must not have told you, right?"
"No."
"Joe had burns severe enough to make some parts of his system not work perfectly, so he was treated here and had to rest for a few weeks. But in the past few days, his condition has slowly recovered, and he is forced to return to his duties."
"What's? Aih, you idiot! Why did he make the decision? Already know his condition is still not fully healed, why would he even want to continue his duties so quickly?" Derek grumbled in annoyance.
"I don't know either, it's his decision."
"Well, thank you for telling me about this. But I hope you didn't tell her I was here, could you?"
"Why? You want to surprise her?"
"That's how."
"All right, I'll shut up. Then I'll see you." Evolab111 leaves Derek alone. Along with that, Melinda who they did not realize her presence also left her.
The derek? Who the hell is he? Is he his brother, Joe? If it's not wrong I've heard that she has a sister. Is that him? Melinda. He continued to walk until he arrived at the professor's office.
After Evolab111, Derek left immediately to refocus on his original goal. Taking serum samples from Evolgesysv-03.

Melinda arrived in the professor's room. Inside, there was Joe standing in front of him.
Melinda stood next to Joe. The woman slightly bowed in salute to the professor before them.
"You've finally arrived."
"What does the professor want to talk about?"
"It's about the mission you're working on. From tomorrow, Joe will be back on duty."
"But, shouldn't Joe take a break for a few weeks? Didn't the professor say that?"
"I'm healed" replied Joe who glanced at Melinda.
"Joe's condition has improved, and he can carry out his duties" explained the professor.
"If Joe can get back on duty, does that mean the professor doesn't need me on this mission anymore?" Melinda looked at the old man in front of her.
"You'll stay on duty, as I told you before you went on this mission. You'll focus more on the man who attacked Joe. You need to find information about it, and I need you to catch it."
"Eh? That means, I just need to focus on him?"
"Yes. Let Elvina and William be my business." Joe is back.
Melinda flashed a smile hearing the words spoken from the professor's mouth.
"Thank you for entrusting me with this mission, prof."
"As long as you're on this mission, I want you to work together to capture all three of them and bring them to me." The professor looked at Melinda and Joe in turn.
"Good prof, we will work together to make this mission complete quickly" Melinda and Joe said together.
"Good, I entrust this mission to both of you. Don't let you let me down, and most importantly don't come back before you catch them."
"We understand."
"You two can go back now."
Melinda and Joe bowed before finally stepping out of the professor's room.
Arriving outside, Melinda met for a moment with Joe. "May we work well together." Melinda reached out her hand.
"I hope so."
