Chapter 361 - Tracking Boginya (1/2)
Halia held onto the phone nervously. ”Kidnapped?” she asked. ”When did this happen?”
She had just seen the two men about 4 days ago in their lab. How did they suddenly get kidnapped and who took them? No one knew about the two doctors or what they were doing apart from a few selected people that had sworn to secrecy. Unless someone knew about their experiments, they had no use for them.
”To be honest, you and Captain Wu may have been the last people to see them,” Trisha replied. Even now, she still called Jackson, 'Captain Wu'. After all, he was her idol.
”That was 4 days ago! Why am I being contacted now?” Halia exclaimed. She could sense some hesitation in Trisha's voice.
”I was only told last night that you may be able to help...” Trisha said softly. It sounded like she didn't want to bother Halia, but she was left with no choice.
”Me?” Halia asked in surprise. ”I am on leave and I am pregnant. Plus, I have not heard from Dr. Li and Dr. Ren after I saw them last. How can I help you?”
”I know...that you're a BTA...” Trisha whispered, afraid that someone would overhear her, even though she was all alone in her office and no one knew what a BTA was. ”Captain Tang explained it to me last night...”
Halia almost choked when she heard this. Captain Tang would never reveal this...unless it was something really serious.
”Halia...Boginya kidnapped Dr. Li and Dr. Ren...” Trisha revealed.
Halia's hand trembled and she almost dropped her phone when she heard the woman's name. Boginya? Boginya was a founder of The Organization!
”We weren't sure at first. After all, no one had ever met Boginya in real life and we knew nothing about her. All I had was the information you gave me from Korea and a message from Eagle that she was in Beijing. I remembered that you mentioned her real name was Sofia, so I started following that lead. Sure enough, a woman named Sofia Lebedev flew into Beijing by herself from Moscow two days before the two doctors went missing and checked out of her hotel on the day that they didn't return to work. After further investigations we spotted her on CCTV footage, sitting opposite the Beijing Police Department on the night that, according to Captain Tang, you were visiting the two doctors with Captain Wu. I suspect she was there for you but ended up setting her target on Dr. Li and Dr. Ren instead,” Trisha explained.
”We've been using all our resources over the past few days to track her. No one knows where she went after she checked out of her hotel and there are no records of her flying back out of the country. But, Captain Tang did manage to uncover a mole in the Beijing Police Department. We believed that he had been working with The Organization for a long time and he may have been the one that notified Boginya about your visit. After 2 days of questioning, he finally confirmed that we were right: Boginya had taken the two doctors. As you know, Boginya is one of the founders of The Organization and possibly an ex-KGB agent; she has a vast network of connections and she is an expert at covering up her own tracks. So, finally left with no choice, Captain Tang decided to reveal everything to me about the experiments that Dr. Li and Dr. Ren were involved in and how you are the first BTA. He told me this because...you apparently have Trojan's memories...and Trojan may have information about Boginya...” Trisha said in disbelief. This finally explained why Halia always had such reliable 'hunches': Nightingale, Archangel, Eagle, and Boginya were all discovered because of her. And, it also explained why one of the founders of The Organization had kidnapped these two doctors.
Halia held her head and closed her eyes for a short moment. It was a lot of information to absorb.
”Halia, is there anything in Trojan's memory that could help us?” Trisha asked with hope in her voice.
”I'm not sure,” Halia furrowed her brows and tried to access Trojan's memories. But, the only thing that came to mind was the same scene she witnessed last time: two n.a.k.e.d bodies indulging in the pleasures of a.d.u.l.thood. Two familiar voices m.o.a.ned in pleasure as Halia sighed in disgust. Was it the hormones from her pregnancy that were making her remember this particular scene?
But, as the memory grew more vivid, Halia realized it was slightly different from last time.
