The group of three people, have left the Hospital, after they've paid the huge amount of bill specific for American Healthcare that it should be somewhere at hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are going down the stairs to the parking lot where a red Ford car with four seats is parked near a motorcycle and a van. They get inside the Ford car. Raj gets on the backseats while the woman and with her "bodyguard" is going on the front seats.
Carmen is driving the car from the parking lot and toward to the place where Rudy is waiting for them. After Carmen has left the parking place, Raj asks the man.
"Who are you?"
"Me?" asks that man to Raj.
"Yes."
"My name is Ramirez." says the man from the front seat.
"Nice to meet you."
"Likewise." says Ramirez to Raj.
"So. What is your business with Mr. Greg."
"You will find it soon."
"Why not now?"
"Because Rudy knows more than us about the plan of that man. We are an agent organization who got hired to hunt down that damn man."
"Who hired you?"
"It's top secret, man." says Ramirez to Raj. "Put your questions when we arrive at the place."
"Alright."
After about three minutes, the car stops in front of three stories building, where it displays a sign that is says "Self Service Washing". The woman gets down the car, together with the man by the name of Ramirez. After they got down, Raj follows them and he goes inside with them. Arriving inside the place, they walk for a minute to the storage room.
Carmen opens the door, and then the moment she opened the door, the room doesn't look like a normal storage room. There is a tunnel who is leading to a secret space. All three of them are walking down the tunnel toward the place where Rudy is waiting for them.
After another one to two minutes of walking, the three people are arriving in a secret room. The room it shows a lot of desks with a lot of computers where a high number of people are working on them. The people who are on the computers are hired as spies, hitman's like Raj or hackers. And from that group of hackers, is also Rudy, who is on a desk he has taken and was checking the information of the stock market in America.
"Hello, Rudy!" says Carmen to Rudy who is turning around on his moving chair.
"Hello, carmen!" says Rudy to her step-sister, then he sees Raj, and he is surprised by this. "Oh. Raj. Never thought I will see you here."
"Yet here I am." says Raj approaching Rudy, and shakes the hand of him. "Still the problem with social anxiety?"
"Well… Yes." says Rudy feeling already anxious. He coughs to regulate his voice, and he looks at Ramirez. "Hello, Ramirez!"
"Hola." says Ramirez to Rudy and after that he is walking to another room, that Raj will explore later.
"So." says Raj looking around. "What is this place? Why I am here? And why we have to hunt for Mr. Greg."
"Well, Raj." says Rudy looking around, then he points at a free chair next to him. "You would rather take a seat. Because this conversation is going to be a long one."
"Alright." responds Raj who is going to the chair Rudy has pointed and moves with him closer to him to hear the discussion he will have face to him, after a long time.
"At first. To answer your first question. Which I think it stated about our organization, correct?" asks Rudy, then he continue after Raj nodded his head in agreement. "You see. We are a spies and bounty hunters agency like in those action movies or in comedic TV shows from 2000s. Our missions are to fight against the evil and to save the world. Which this one of the reasons we have to stop Mr. Greg."
"Okay. But What did Mr. Greg did?"
"You will probably think this is crazy, but that man wants to infect the world with a virus."
"With what?"
"A virus. Something like those in zombie movies."
"That's ridiculous." laughs Raj, then he looks around, growing much more worried because nobody is laughing at this matter, all of them are worried about this mission detail.
"This sounds really, really, really, insane. But it is the truth. no matter how hard we try to make it think it is a joke like everything nowadays." says Rudy to Raj, then he looks on the monitor. "If you do not believe me I invite you to watch some footage captured a while ago when Mr. Greg and his… "associates" to say, they've been stricken the docks and stole a lot of barrels with a radioactive substance and a few other chemical types"
He moves aside from his chair to let Raj sits on it and looks on the monitor to the security camera footage captured three weeks ago, before the incident that was caused by Raj, where Mr. Greg, who is driving a truck, that similarly looks like the one Raj saw the last moments before he fades into unconsciousness thanks to one of the associates of Mr. Greg.
Raj sees how that truck parks in front of a warehouse, where the huge door gets risen by a worker from inside. Mr. Greg and with a person from the car, probably Mike, are leaving the vehicle, they both walk to that worker. Raj can observe clearly, even if the footage was taken from twenty-three o'clock, how he hands an envelope to the worker. After the worker opened the envelope and checked the contents they let the two people walk into the warehouse and do their thing. Raj also saw the contents of the envelope, which weren't money, more likely cocaine because of the worker who took a bit from there, and put it on his teeth earlier to check its quality.
After about ten minutes of moving barrels, the worker closes the garage door, then he lets the men go away from that place on their truck. Then, Rudy moves over to the monitor and it selects another video saved from a different, on a different location.
"Now this footage. Is taken three days ago. The moment you were knocked down." he presses on the play button of the video. "Watch it."
The second footage it shows the truck, same one from the night Raj got betrayed, he enters a warehouse, where a few more people were waiting for the truck. But these personnel of the warehouse weren't looking like civilians with a job or as working class, they were dressing as street gangsters. This footage even if it was taken from the night, that camera had installed a night-vision mode where it can show the things from night look like day. something like a filter, but better.
"Street gangsters?"
"This the Purple gang," says Rudy to Raj. "Otherwise known as Purple Vipers. It had another name, but they've rebranded it because of their new leader. Who is it, you ask? It is a Mexican that knowns' no god-damn English, yet he controls a gang that has about twenty percentage of Garnet City, and sixty-five of Ruby City. This gang is quite dangerous if you are a member of gangster. And thankfully you are not."
"And I will never be."
"No wonder. Today's gangs are so bad, kids would rather become civilized people rather than their fathers or mothers, who are trying to rob shops with an airsoft gun. But unfortunately, this gang uses real weapons. Taken from illegal arms dealers from America, Iran, Russia, South Sudan, and even from the Philippines. You can clearly see how desperate they are if they take weapons from Russians."
Rudy goes over to the monitor, he closes the videos and then he lets Raj process these things for a bit, after he observed the man did not say anything.
"I know it is a lot to digest right now. So that is why, we decide to give you some time to relax before we will throw you to do our tasks."
"Tasks?" asks Raj, then he looks in disbelief at Rudy. "You mean I work to you."
"No, no. You work to the agency now. Well. You always did as a bounty hunter. Remember. But back then, I did not tell you were working for an agency. Until now."
"Why?"
"Is it because I couldn't trust you back then. But then I forgot to tell you about this and about the fact that most of the targets I gave you weren't actually criminals who escaped from Sapphire Penitentiary Island, rather than dangerous people from around the world who came to these artificial islands to do business. But. You kind of own us because of the hospitalization."
"You mean mine? Carmen did pay?"
"Not yours."
"What?" asks Raj looking in disbelief.
"Raj. I think we should leave this place and head to the hospital, you probably need to go and make a visit to someone." he heads outside the office.
Raj is following Rudy to the exit door.
Ramirez asked if he can come to protect him, but Rudy told him to not come, he also told him a sentence that make Raj feel a bit weird.
"I trust this man. With every cell of my body."
