Chapter 269: Blood Bath (1)
Rick hung up the phone and sighed deeply. He turned towards Adrian, who was waiting with a knowing look on his face.
"So?"
"You were right," Rick replied, frustrated with the situation. "Someone already informed Maria about our plan. She fled before we could capture her, or she wasn’t there to begin with, as you said."
"I figured as much," Adrian smirked, his suspicions confirmed. "I knew even someone like Maria wouldn’t have gone as far as executing an attack on the hospital without having someone supporting her from within the DRA."
"You’re right..." Rick replied, rubbing his temple. "I can’t believe this. I always thought they were a bunch of rich bastards, but to stop to this level? Unforgivable."
Adrian didn’t reply as his thoughts went to yesterday while interrogating Vex.
Yesterday...
After interrogating Vex, Adrian asked Rick to inform the higher-ups about it. Rick was a bit taken aback, as he had asked Rick not to involve the higher-ups in the matter. But now he was asking to do the complete opposite.
Adrian smiled and told him it was the right time to find the mole. That’s when they planned to feed all the suspicious guys false information.
"We need to get rid of the mole before we do anything. The problem is-" Rick sighed.
"You don’t know who it could be," Adrian completed Rick’s thoughts.
