Their Objectives

The first bus that picked up the victims of the train accident, which were already reduced in number, since many of them did not choose the services of the Lincox company, let us see a couple of men who seemed to be having a conversation.

-So, repeat the plan ... but this time without your sarcastic remarks," said Vincent. - said Vincent.

- Oh, come on ... you take the fun out of life, but I suppose it's necessary. - commented Gajel.

The long white-haired man looked at the bus window, preparing to speak discreetly.

- As you know, we must supply the demand that 'they' asked us for this month, besides we are in backlog and they seem to be getting impatient.

- Yes and you sent Licard to that canyon to take what he needed before they sent an inspection team, but what about this so-called creature?

- I told you, I informed him to be careful.

- I'm not talking about Licard, but about the team under his leadership, do you think they can handle all that?

- ... I guess they will manage. - Gajel commented smiling - although urgently we need to give them the delayed merchandise ... so when we arrive in Madrid, Rord should already have that lot ready.

- I understand, but how are we going to give them what they ask for this month?

- Well, you know. Madrid is a pretty big place with millions of citizens, I don't think they're going to bother with a certain amount of murders, right? ... Dead here, dead there. It happens every day.

- ... Yeah ... well, it's their lives or ours. Besides, with the amount Licard can bring in, we might just make it. On the other hand, are we still in this business?

- Nope, the contract is only until this month. This coming month we have another mission, for that we will require more intervention from Renato.

The young black-haired man looked sideways at Gajel.

- Do you think he wants to do it?

- It's not a question of whether he wants to. On the other hand, we will also have our roles in this.

- What? ... you didn't tell me about that.

- Of course not ... otherwise you would have been just like Ren.

Vincent sighed.

- How will you do with the papers? I know you need to give an interview and certain tests to be hired as a teacher.

- Don't worry, it's all taken care of. What we have to focus on is Ren's entrance exam; some sources say that this year they will use the Fuencarral-El Pardo territory to do the practical part.

- All that area, what are they planning?

- This year's exam is being taken by some interesting characters such as the youngest daughter of the king, some sons of the grand dukes and people coming from Egypt, Italy and other countries of great influence.

- Are any of them born into the royal family? - Vincent asked with some interest.

- Apparently the second princess has been selected as a potential candidate, although it will really all be done discreetly. The main event will be the theoretical exam as usual; after two days they will do the practical exam.

- And when are the recruitments for us?

- In three days. - said Gajel smiling childishly.

- When is the entrance exam?

- In a week.

- ... You really kept it in your pocket, huh.

- Of course I did.

- On the other hand, what did the 'higher-ups' tell you about Roberto?

- That he couldn't take the fall and that Licard will be the one to confirm what happened.

- And they believed you?

- Sure... Why wouldn't they?

- ...

- Any other questions?

- No ... just ... is it really necessary for us to go to the 'reformed' academy?

- Come on, you know well that this new technology will become the main military source in the future. We should complement our research with the results of one of the pioneer countries and what better place than at ARET. For if what I think will happen happens, this power will be very necessary for us to survive.

- Yes, I suppose so.

- So knowing that, let Ren have some more fun with his 'friends', after this they will have a hard job.

While Vincent continued reading a book that seemed to be about history, that man with long white hair stood looking through the window; however, at some point, his smile faded and a serious face was left reflecting in the window.

"... What really worries me now is not Le Front, nor the ARET exam, nor even that supposed monster that Renato found, but ... Who was that man with long black hair who survived in the fall? He was part of the group of young people that Renato was to eliminate, wasn't he?" thought Gajel.
