Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 164: Same Destination

Everyone silently nodded their heads.

"I have an update about that. We finally discovered something about them which might help us in our investigation," the Captain added.

"We have arrested one of the people that was involved in stealing the bodies. He destroyed his phone before he was arrested, but we did manage to capture him alive. This information is extremely classified, and no one other than a few in our bureau knows about it. We have already interrogated him, and I want to brief you on what we found out from him," he added.

The others were already focused, but they were even more focused now. This was pretty exciting for them, as this meant that they finally had some progress on the case.

The Red-Haired Man tapped a key on the keyboard of his laptop. An image started showing up on the white board in front of them.

"This guy is called Trey Masterson. He also has a nickname which is Number 23. He claimed that this is how he was addressed to by the people that were above him," the Red-Haired Man said as he pointed towards the image of the man.

"He said that he didn’t know much about the organization and that he only followed the commands he received from the people that he claimed to be the ones that were the core members of the organization behind it."

"So, he is like a disposable pawn of their organization?" Riya asked the captain as she raised her hand.

"Yes and no. He was a pawn that didn’t know anything significant about the organization, but he was not disposable. Arresting him wasn’t useless. He had seen the faces of the core Members that we believe can lead us to the ones behind this racket. We have the sketches of three people that he had seen that were involved in this. We also have some more information," The Captain said.

"We found out that there is a meeting held in Washington between the Core Members that he saw and the pawns like him. He also gave us the location of that place. Even though we don’t know if there will be another meeting or when it will be held, I still need a team to go to Washington to keep an eye on it. It might take a week or a month, but there should be a meeting again as long as they don’t realize that we have number 23. It might even be as soon as tomorrow. Every second is of importance. This is our biggest opportunity to catch them," He added.

Riya raised her hand again.

"Yes? What doubts do you have?" the Red-Haired Guy asked as he pointed towards Riya.

"Captain Max. How much of the team are you willing to send there? It’s not certain that they will still hold a meeting there, and they would soon realize that their man is missing. This might be a waste of resources if we send too many people. Also, why aren’t our men already present there assigned for this task?" Riya asked.

"The team that’s already there is dealing with another case. You know that the missing body case is a case assigned to our team. I can’t take other men from their mission. As for your first question, We will send a small team as it’s mostly a recon mission. If there is a meeting there, you can inform me. I’ll make sure that all the teams and authorities present there get to you guys to give you back-up. The team will have four people," The Captain answered Riya’s question.

Another man raised his hand. He was the person that had reminded Riya of the Meeting.

"Yes, Jacob?" The Red-Haired Man pointed towards the guy.

"Captain, have you already decided on a team, or is it voluntary? Also, are you coming with us as well?" Jacob asked the Captain.

"I have already decided on a team."

The Captain tapped another key on his keyboard, and four names appeared on the board.

"The ones that I selected are Jacob Mastiff, Riya Fernandez, Milana Sanderson, and Ray Quinn," the Captain said.

"Also, I won’t be coming. I am going on another lead with a different team. You guys need to remain in contact with me after you reach there, though," He added. "Oh, right. Ray will be your leader for this mission. The tickets are already booked. You will leave tomorrow morning," he added.

"Yes, Sir."

"That’s it for today. The others can get back to work. The ones I have named can leave early to pack their stuff," the Captain said before he disconnected his laptop and left

Ryder packed some of his stuff in a bag before he kept the bag in his storage space.

"The fuck, How could I forget that I have a bomb in one of my storage slots," Ryder let out with a wry smile on his face as he saw the bag that had the bomb in one of his storage slots after he placed his clothing bag in a different slot.

"Well, it might come in handy someday," he muttered as he shook his head and closed the screen. "I do need to deal with the bodies, though. Might as well throw them outside with the bomb if I ever use that."

He stood up and left his room. It was already night as he entered the kitchen.

"I was just about to call you. The dinner is ready," Alice said as she glanced back at Ryder.

"I know that you’re always on time," Ryder said as he smiled and sat on a chair.

"Have you packed your stuff for tomorrow? I can help you if you haven’t," Alice asked Ryder.

"I’m more self behaved then you give me credit for. I packed everything," Ryder replied to her.

The dinner was served. They both had dinner together before Alice said that she would move in with her friend for a few days as she didn’t want to live alone in this house.

Ryder agreed to her and told her that she needed to call him if she faced any problem. He would handle everything for her.

Alice agreed as a beautiful smile covered her face.

After a peaceful dinner, Ryder walked back to his room.

He laid on his bed and wore the Divinity Glasses.

"Time to get the third orb," He muttered.

"Take me to Divinity!" he used the command.

Ryder opened his eyes to the world of Divinity. He was inside the Cave of Protection. It had started to get bright outside.
