"How in the bloody hell is Kira's picture in there?" Naika adamantly exclaimed. She jabbed a finger at the screen. "And look what she's wearing!"
Kira was wearing white robes, and although she had on the beatific attire, her face was hard. It was an expression she usually wore during missions. The expression was chilling; it was though whoever did the image knew her intimately. There was also something else in the picture as well. Someone was beside Kira and wore the same clothes, but her face was partly obscured because of the girl's long black hair. She was looking up at Kira as though in adoration.
"Two of them," Chilly said to himself. He looked down when he noticed Naika clicking away. "We have to tell the Director," she said, starting to make a copy. "He'd like to know about this." But she paused when Chilly placed a hand on her wrist, stilling her actions. "No. Delete it," he said.
"Delete it?" Naika said, dumbfounded. She looked at her partner with incredulity. "What the hell are you talking about? They would want to know about this!"
Chilly gave her a penetrating stare. "They," he said firmly, "no, the Director…already knows about it, Nai. Why do you think they brought us there in the first place? Why do you think they made us shut it down? Somehow, Kira is involved in all of this…deeply."
"So Kira is the fallen angel that man yapped about?" Naika said, "But the question is, why is Kira a fallen angel? It's gotta be a metaphor of some kind." Chilly shook his head. "I don't think it's as easy as that," he said. He pointed to the second girl in the picture. "I'm also interested in this one. Do you remember that Kira has a sister here?" Naika nodded. "But do you have any idea where the sister is right now? Or what she's doing?"
Naika shook her head slowly. "I've never really thought about it, since Kira was never so chatty about her personal life."
"She never talked about it," Chilly said, "because perhaps she was never given a chance. I've been her handler long before you came aboard, Naika. Not once have I heard her speak about her sister. And if I didn't get to look at her records, I wouldn't have known about it.
There are too many questions in this, too many for my liking. I think this is no small thing. We need to check it out for ourselves. Have you gotten anything else from those files?"
"I'm still working on them," she said, "but I might take a while." He nodded. "Remember, you need to delete them as soon as you get more out of them. Commit everything to memory. I'll be back in a couple of hours" He straightened up and started for the door.
"Wait, where are you going?" Naika called out.
Chilly turned his head. Naika stared at him. The fun-loving, loud gay was gone. In his place was the real Major Lancet.
"I'm getting to the bottom of this."
