Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 375 - What is this place?

"Now how can we continue this mission? It's been almost more than a year since we've been working on this case, but we haven't been able to solve it. The other team's even got another mission, while we're still stuck on one mission." Lucy massaged his forehead. The blonde woman was sitting on the sofa with legs.


"That's because the mission we are on is a big-class mission, while others handle small-scale missions. Isn't it from the beginning, our team has always handled high-class missions?" Aland commented.


"Yes, I know. It's not the first time, but it really frustrates me. Moreover, without Am. Our team is incomplete. Even in the space of a year, we're really struggling because he doesn't exist."


Lucy and Aland's attention instantly switched when the sound of the door opening.


Ethan arrives along with his other two partners. Jean and Daniel.


"Lucy, Aland!" Ethan approached both.



"What's wrong?" Lucy stared at them with a confused face.


"Eth, tell me he's managed to pick up the signal from your target." Jean took a seat to his left, while Daniel was to his right.


Jean, Lucy, and Daniel. They have been friends since they were in the training academy. Even long before Aland was present to replace his team members who had messed up.


"Did you really get it?" Aland shifts so Ethan can sit down.


"Yes, and I already know where it is. Some time ago, I had time to capture the signals coming from the sophisticated tools they use. Although it took a long time to track it because the tool is too sophisticated with our tools, but I managed to capture the signal," explained Ethan who sat there with the map he brought. He put it all on the glass table in front of him.


Lucy and Aland immediately open the map and retrieve some sheets of paper containing information that has been collected by Ethan and in print.


"He's moving? But... What is this place?" Lucy pointed to a photo that was within her grasp. The photo shows a large building that is so luxurious, but he is completely foreign to the building.


"Where is this building?" Aland took the photo Lucy showed.


"I just saw it" muttered Jean.


"I've been trying to find out about this building. It is located on the outskirts of the city which is quite quiet and rarely visited. If it's not wrong, the location is close.." Ethan hangs his words. He looked at Lucy with a doubtful look, his heart reluctant to continue the next sentence.


"Near what?" daniel asked, asking Ethan to continue.


"Why do you seem hesitant to continue your sentence?" ask Jean.


"That's.." Ethan looked down. His tongue suddenly felt dull.


"Let's just say, we have to know where that place is" Lucy said.


"This place is too sensitive for you, so let's just move on to the other place." Ethan switches the conversation, he puts the photo away and hides it among some other papers so Lucy can't see it.


"What are you hiding?" ask Aland who does not understand with Ethan's strange attitude.


"Nothing" he answered.
