Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 377 - Nicole

"Why indeed?"
"The building, was at the scene of a tragedy a few years ago" said Ethan.
"You mean." Jean looked at him with a surprised face.
Ethan nodded slowly as if he knew what the woman was thinking.
"The tragedy of the bombing that killed Elena" Ethan murmured softly.
Moments speechless. Not a word came from their lips. A moment of silence, the tragedy of a few years ago, is still quite imprinted in their memories. A bombing tragedy that left Elena, one of Lucy's colleagues, dead.
"Your choice is right not to discuss that with Lucy" Daniel said.
"If Lucy finds out, she'll fall. I don't want him to get out of our alliance again." Jean chimed.

It's been almost a week Derek and Pricilla are in London to find the whereabouts of Jessy who until now they still have not found.
"What should we do now? We've been in London for almost a week, and we haven't found Jessy anywhere. Even we have been looking for it every day and repeatedly moved inns, but we never found its existence" said Pricilla who is now sitting in front of him. They were in one of the restaurants, enjoying lunch to meet their needs.
Pricilla and Derek like the previous days are busy looking for the whereabouts of Jessy.
"We've been in London too long, and I'm sure they must be LGEs and EAs starting to tighten their guard. We need to get out of London immediately" Derek said.
"How now? What are we gonna do now? Are we gonna wait for them to find us and catch us like what we're afraid of?" Pricilla swallowed the food she had just chewed.
"How?"
"We try to go back to the university we originally went to, and we ask again." Derek grabbed his drink and gulped it down slowly.
"About? We've been there almost five times, even until now we haven't found any clues. How can you be so sure, if we go back there we'll find Jessy's whereabouts?"
"This time we're looking another way."

Derek and Pricilla visit the university where Jessy attended her seminar, after arriving there. They use other means to find Jessy's whereabouts.
Derek met one of the lecturers who taught there and asked for instructions from him. After failing to get a clue from one lecturer, they looked for another lecturer and asked about the seminar they had held.
After almost hours, they finally found a bright spot from one of the lecturers who also turned out to participate in the seminar attended by the woman.
"Here!" Nicole stopped her car in front of a hotel.
Jessy and Derek are hitchhiking with her and focus on the building in front of them.
"Everyone who participated in the seminar stayed here, and several other seminars will be held in the near future. Lately we have been quite busy with seminars that come in the same Sunday," he said.
"Well, thank you for the ride, and thank you for telling us too." Derek and Pricilla step out of Nicole's car.
"No problem, I'm going to attend an event nearby anyway" Nicole replied.
