Maybe This Is Fate

Virginia, CIA headquarters.

Yelling sounds were heard inside the director's office, and the office windows nearly shattered from the yelling.

"A bunch of useless idiots! How did the equipment just slip away?" The CIA director slammed the report from Europe on his table and screamed, "Three whole shipping containers! Three! You're telling me you can't find it?"

Jared, director of CIA European affairs, had an awkward expression on his face as he looked down and whispered quietly, "Sir… This matter is a bit complicated."

The director said angrily, "Complicated? All of our cases are complicated!"

James quickly said, "According to the latest intel from Agent Horns in Italy, we still aren't sure where these pieces of equipment are being shipped to, so it might not be China…"

"Do you think I'm stupid? What other countries could possibly want these pieces of equipment urgently?"

Jared thought, Of course you're stupid.
