Chapter 386 - Dont Mess With The Wus (2/2)
Halia smirked. This woman was starting to read her mind. ”Amun's in Fez, Morocco,” she replied.
Trisha nodded her head, ”I'll speak to Boginya about it again and see if I can get anything from her.”
Halia agreed, ”I also suggest that we send Hummingbird to Morocco since she hasn't found anything in Israel and she isn't too far away. Perhaps, she'll find something in Morocco instead.”
”OK, we can speak to her after this,” Trisha replied. ”If that's all...”
Just as Trisha was about to hang up, Halia suddenly added, ”One more thing...”
”I would like to ask for Oliver's help with a private matter...”

Meanwhile, in Beijing.
Sasquatch tiptoed across the grounds of the orphanage he had just snuck into. The sun had already set by this time and it was cold outside, so everyone was indoors and no one saw him. The orphanage was fairly big with multiple buildings surrounding a grassy field in the middle. At this time of night, the lights were off in most of the buildings, but one particular building was shining brightly amidst the darkness.
Sasquatch followed the light like a moth to a lightbulb and finally realized it was the dining hall. That's right! It was dinner time!
Sasquatch rubbed his stomach and it grumbled a little; he didn't even notice that he hadn't had dinner yet.
He peered in through a window and saw three long dining tables, fully seated with children of various ages. They were laughing and talking to each other as they waited for their dinner to be served.
A moment later, the kitchen door flew open and a woman walked out carrying a tray with a few plates of food on top. She smiled sweetly at the children and said, ”We are having spaghetti bolognese today!”
The children clapped and cheered as the woman began to place the plates in front of them.
Sasquatch looked at the woman carefully and was surprised to discover that - it was Lotus Li!
Was this the same cold and arrogant woman that he met in the morning?
He was so shocked that he could barely even close his mouth. But, he quickly snapped out of his daze and reminded himself what he was there for. He focused his eyes on the woman's hands to see if there were any cuts. For some reason, he was certain she would have them earlier, but he wasn't so sure now. In fact, he kind of hoped that she didn't. How could a passport forger that worked for The Organization be so kindhearted as to volunteer at an orphanage?
But, when he looked carefully at her hands...he realized she was still wearing gloves! She had removed the pair from earlier, but because she was serving food, she was wearing rubber gloves for hygiene.
Sasquatch sighed. How much longer would he have to follow this woman just to see her hands?
