We don't spend too much time in the banquet after the briefing about the tournament ended. I'm afraid I will unable to refuse any food or drink offers from waiter and waitress. Besides, I don't know if we still being watched by Vega or his men or not, but I'm sure he not giving up easily. So, after meeting with Vega, I ask Ken and Chun Li to leave the banquet and they agree with that.
We gather in my room to discuss what we just experienced in the banquet just now. I show Ken and Chun Li, food that I secretly keep in my pocket.
"Ryu! You said we should not eating or drinking anything during the banquet, but you silently bring some food from there"
"Ken, I'm bringing this food here not to eat, but to analyze"
"Oh, is that so? Sorry, I take my own conclusion too quickly"
"It's alright, Sister Li, you're Interpol agent, can you make analyze for this food? Maybe contain some dangerous material for our body?"
Chun Li take the food from my hand and sniffing it, take it for a closer look, but still, after doing that she only shakes her head.
"Sorry, brother Ryu. I do not bring any proper equipment to conduct analyses for this food. From the smell is safe but that doesn't mean this food is safe"
"Is there really no other way to check this food?"
"Hmm…. I can't do that but I know someone who might be able to help analyze this food"
"Oh? Who is he or she?"
"He's from another agency that also investigating Shadaloo. He also infiltrates into this tournament like me. I can introduce him to you"
"Great! Can we do that right now?"
"Yes, let's go to his room"
Three of us leave my room and follow Chun Li to meet this guy who may be able to help us. We go to the different floor and stop in front of a certain room. Chun Li knock the door in certain rhyme before a voice can be heard from behind the door
"Who is that? How do you know the code?"
"It's me, Chun Li. I come with some friends"
"Oh it's you, wait a minute"
The door opens and a man comes out from behind the door. A man with a particularly tall flattop haircut in his blond hair, wearing a brown flak vest with a blue-gray army jumpsuit with the sleeves are rolled up into cuffs and a white undershirt. It's Guile! He asks about us to Chun Li when he sees us
"Chun Li, who are those guys with you?"
"They are my left and right-hand man in my mission. They can be trusted. Can we enter?"
"Please come in"
Guile open the door wider and invite us to come in. After closing the door, Guile takes something like electronic rods from his bag and sweeps that rod along to our bodies. That seems like a device to search any electronics like wiretaps or something alike.
"Sorry guys, it's a necessary precaution"
"It's okay, we understand"
After the screening over and we're clear, he pleases us to take a seat and explaining our purpose come to him.
"Let me introduce them, they are disciples of master Gouken from Ansatsuken martial art school, Ryu, and Ken. This man is Mr. Guile from the US Air Force"
"Hello Mr. Guile, nice to meet you"
"Hello, Mr. Guile, how do you do"
"Hello, Mr. Ryu and Mr. Ken, I already hear the famous name of master Gouken from Ansatsuken school. Never thought today I can meet his disciples here"
"So, what purpose you come to me Chun Li? You know we should minimize contact to avoid suspicion from Shadaloo"
"Ah right, we want your help to analyze this food"
"Is that food from the banquet just now? I also eat that and nothing happens"
"Brother Ryu suspects something wrong with this food and wants to examine it, but we don't have the equipment to check it. Only Mr. Guile have access to examine this food"
"You're Ryu, right? What makes you suspect this food?"
Guile changes the question to me.
"Because this is Shadaloo work, Mr. Guile. They will never give something for free"
Guile face becomes a bit paler after hearing my reason. Maybe he realizes that not poison that he should worry but something else
"You're right Mr. Ryu, I think I'm a bit careless with this banquet. Alright, I will check this food for you. But the result will not come right now. I must send this food sample first"
"That's alright Mr. Guile, we can wait"
After saying goodbye to Guile, we left his room and return to our respective room. Tomorrow we still have something to do with this tournament.
