In a room at an unknown location, an image of Nathan and Amy standing face to face in the park was frozen in mid-air.
One voice asked, “Has anyone got any idea as to why Mary O’Brian took such a risk to turn up in Little Amsterdam?”
“The only plausible possibility is that she wanted to meet an extremely important person there.”
“Do you mean Nathan Jenkins?”
“Yes, and we believe that she might intend to recruit him.”
“But he is nobody. Although he’s shown some extraordinary Kung Fu fighting skills, she wouldn’t have known that beforehand. I doubt even Nathan himself knew of his fighting ability, based on the interview he had with our Dutch police officer. So the question is why she risked her life to meet some guy, a nobody.”
“Don’t know. One theory is that she believed the prophecy that an OBU virgin would help her to bring OBU down.”
“OBU virgin? An interesting theory. Anyway, how could we only have placed six agents without firearms on site when attempting to arrest Mary O’Brian? It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get her.”
“We had no idea she would be there. It was pure chance that our security program cracked her mask and the automatic facial recognition software spotted her.”
“Why didn’t you get the special forces onto it?”
“To tell you the truth, nobody believed it could be remotely possible that Mary O’Brian would be there, in a strip bar in Little Amsterdam. We have had too many of these kinds of computer errors before so we just sent the unit nearby to check it out.”
“Who is the woman Nathan met in the park?”
“Amy, his co-worker from the bakery he worked at before his disappearance.”
“Is she clean?”
“We think so as she is working for OBUarity. It means that she passed the background check when she joined the company. She also promised to get him a position in OBUarity.”
“Good, make sure she is successful with his application.”

In a room in another unknown location, a voice stated, “It seems that Nathan is going to work for OBUarity.”
“Yes. Let’s hope that OBU hasn’t realized how important Nathan is to us, them and the whole world.”
“If Nathan is the one the prophecy predicted, the struggle will come to an end soon.”
“It won’t be that easy, but let’s keep our hopes up. Keep watching him closely.”
