Carol and Agent Z(1)
Jenica traveled to the capital without informing Bryce Desmana. She believes Daisy will take care of that man. For now, she has more pressing things to do.
“Agent Z was involved in a car accident while doing his mission. The HQ wants you to go after Agent Z,” her assistant said from the other end of call.
Jenica frowned. “No one was nearby to help that man?”
“It’s the problem. Agent Z disconnected all of his tracking devices so our people can’t find him. The last signal Agent sent was last night, by the shore of Manila Bay. A few hours after that, our people sent a distress signal to the HQ when they discovered Agent Z’s wrecked car in the local news. There was no one inside the car when the accident happened.”
Jenica bit her lower lip. She couldn’t have imagined that Agent Z would escape under the watchful eye of HQ. But she applaud that man’s confidence and sly tactic to deceive the organization.
But what was his reason for doing so?
“Alright. I’ll go find him,” she promised.
“You can look for Agent Z when you are done with your mission. The HQ wants you to speed up and to finish the mission within six months from now.”
“Damn!” Jenica whispered and frowned.
She only has six months to complete the mission involving Jared. But that man’s too cunning!
But finding Agent Z’s more important. Only by having that man could Jenica had the confidence to continue the mission since Agent Z knew how to solve the poisonous needle matter which Jared was involved into.
So when she got back to the capital, she first looked for Agent Z’s special assistants. “Guide me where the accident happened,.
Since HQ assigned Jenica the mission to find Agent Z, they couldn’t do anything but follow her orders. Jenica also asked about the progress of Agent Z’s mission and the assistant also gave the folder that contained the information Agent Z had obtained over the past months.
Jenica’s eyes narrowed. The folder contains complete information about poisonous needles and the people behind their production in the South.
First, to Jobert Falcon Labastida, the governor in the South and the one who persuaded Jenica to visit South. The governor is making the first ingredient of the poisonous needle at the Antonete branch Factory.
The processed raw material is transported to the independent Mondragon Store and mix it with other chemicals. It is Samantha Mondragon who lead the making of the second process. And surprisingly, Samantha Mondragon and Jared have no direct connection.
Samantha just obeyed Jobert’s order to frame Doctor Acinea when Jenica revealed to Jobert that she’s an oriental alchemist member and when the man realized that oriental alchemist has something to do with HQ.
Then the ingredient is transported to other processes that are being led by various influential clans in the South. These families were under Jobert Labastida’s command and have no direct connection with Jared.
The report also stated that only Jobert has the direct connection with Jared in the South.
If her guess is correct, it means that Jared has direct control over the production of poisonous needles. He might be the mastermind behind these damned needles or someone was instructing him to do so.
The trace of the needles in the South was cut-off after the last influential clan, and Agent Z had to find Jared because the last clue were hinting at the damned man.
When Jenica showed Agent Z the chat history of Anonymous and Code X, there was another clue to the mastermind beside Jared. So he traveled to the capital but in less than a week, Agent Z was involved in an accident and is now currently missing.
Jenica sighed. She was not sure if Agent Z already knew who was Anonymous in the chat history. She didn’t want to ask his assistants because she wasn’t sure if Agent Z told them about her connection with Code X. If she’ll ask, they will certainly get suspicious.
Jenica and Agent Z both knew that it was better to keep Code X’s contact information from the HQ, especially when Code X once offended the organization. They might also be accused of being accomplices with the damned hacker.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
This accident might be related to Dante Antonete but it was not safe to assume without facts. So she needed to find Agent Z as soon as possible.
So Jenica went to the scene of the accident. Unbeknownst to Agent Z’s assistants and the authorities, she found a secret hint inside the wrecked car that Agent Z was still alive.
“I’ll excuse myself for a bit. Continue your search around the area,” she ordered Agent Z’s assistants.
The men under Agent Z frowned but didn’t say anything. Jenica puffed out an air and walked to her car. She grabbed the flash drive she saw at the secret foot compartment of the wrecked car from her pocket and plugged it to her laptop and browse its contents.
It was a video footage of Agent Z hanging around the Antonete mansion in the capital. Jenica sighed and shook her head.
How capable was that man to know who was Anonymous by just reading the chat history? As far as she knew, Agent Z has never contacted Code X. Nor has he registered on her secret website. So how did he know it was Dante Antonete?
Suddenly her personal phone rang. That’s the phone she used in covet missions as Agent Z, medical missions as Doctor Acinea, and Code X’s contact medium.
Someone entered her inbox. According to the message, her secret men found Agent Z’s equipment in the jungle — one mile from where she was.
Jenica raised her eyebrows and asked him to watch it over. Well, as an infamous hacker, she has hired secret staff to act as her eyes and ears in areas beyond the reach of technology.
She drove the car to Code X’s assistant location. Jenica also made sure to turn off all the tracking devices attached to her. She didn’t even miss the phone and left the car outside the forest. She went inside with only the small emergency light. Using the improvised tracker she made, she finally found the man in the heart of the forest.
“It’s in the outskirts of the capital. What is that man doing in this place?” Jenica asked annoyed.
