Maria and Blade had their eyes buried on Althea's face in the monitor. Though her hair was shortened, there was no mistake in the recognition that it was her walking alongside the young man leading the white mafia in Russia.
"Was it already confirmed that it was her who stole it?" Maria asked, clearly in denial that Althea, the highly principled agent within the organization would betray the order.
Kei then sighed and then clicked the button on his hand again and the footage of Althea's theft was played there. "She was backed with white mafia's men during the breach of the facility here at North. A lot died in the extraction and the leaders in this country wants her head."
"So, you're telling me to bring her here, dead? I thought this is an op to retrieve the nuke?" Maria raised.
"Blade is going to search for James while Althea will be your responsibility," Kei said.
"I don't want to kill my co-agent." Maria said.
