Gordon jumped out of the helicopter after Henry Lang. Both of them scrambled toward Drake, looking agitated.

Many more helicopters were coming their way. They covered half of the sky like migrating birds.

"Oh, it's you." Drake said matter-of-factly, "You've gotten out."

Gordon said, "Drake, why didn't you tell us what Mr. Soan had done for this country?! He was the reason that this country has made so many achievements in the past century! He was the force behind all the development! If you had told us, we would have searched for him with you! Maybe… Maybe none of this would have happened!"

Phoebe waved him off. "There's no point in saying that now. What happened happened, and any discussion is a waste of time. General, Director Lang, please go back and let us finish our mission."

"Your mission? What's your mission? Please tell me it's not what I think it is!"

Drake said calmly, "We've released those 60 million people. What more do you want?"
