You are concerned about the professor but you think that what the man is carrying must be really important, you will tell Emily as soon as you see her. As you suspect, he seems to be heading towards the other helicopter. You rush towards your own.
“Emily, your Grandfather has been injured. Go check on him,
I am going to follow the guy who did this.”
A look of alarm crosses her face. ”Is he OK?”
“I think so, but hurry, they are taking off. Please contact
the authorities as well.”
She jumps out. You go through the procedure to start the
engines and take off a few seconds after the other chopper. You manage to stay
close the other helicopter despite the bad weather. He veers from his course
several times, you judge that he must have weather radar. Something that your
helicopter is sorely lacking.
You follow the helicopter to the nearest port city. It has a
bustling heliport and you become one of the many aircraft filling the airspace.
You manage to get a landing spot close to their helicopter. It appears to you
that you have not been spotted yet.
The men walk towards the terminal. You shut down your own
helicopter, jump out and follow them. As you enter the terminal, two men
dressed cargo pants and hoodies approach you.
“We are friends of Emily’ I’m Mike and this is Jack,” the
man says hurriedly and points to his friend. “She told us what happened. We’ll
update you in the car but we need to follow those men!”
You follow the men into a van. A third man is in the
driver’s seat, watching your targets intently. He follows the car as soon as
they pull off.
“On the memory stick is important data that can be used in
the fight against Global Warming. Those men are foreign agents. They want to
use it for their own purposes, denying the world the benefits. We also suspect
that they might try to turn it into a weapon. Innocent people will needlessly
suffer either way. We belong to Climate Peace and want to upload the
information onto the internet and distribute it to the world. Everyone should
benefit, not just the citizens of one nation or a corporation,” Mike tells you.
The car you are following pulls up to an apartment in a well
to do suburb. Your driver parks half a block away. Your targets get out of
their car and unlock the door to one of the terraced houses.
“We need to go and fetch our leader, Kate. You need to stay
here and watch the apartment. We won’t be long. Emily trusts you to do the
right thing,” Mike says.
He thrusts a card in your hand. “Call us if anything happens,”
he then slides the side panel open, an obvious invitation for you to get out.
You get out, looking around you spot a small coffee shop
within sight of the house you are supposed to be watching. You find yourself a
seat and make yourself comfortable, ordering a hot drink and a pastry from an
eager young waitress.
A vibration in your jacket pocket announces an incoming
call.
“This is agent Jones from the Military Intelligence Agency.
When Emily called the authorities for help we immediately knew what was going
on as we have a keen interest in what he is doing,” the voice is commanding,
spoken by someone who don’t take no for an answer. “We also know she has called
her friends in Climate Peace, but you have to help your government. Tell us where you are and we will get to you.”
