Naomi woke up groggily. She found herself in a confined space, with her hands and feet tied, and even her mouth taped shut.
Her expression was panicked, and she struggled forcefully, completely confused as to why she was here.
She clearly remembered going to the restroom, so why was she suddenly in a place like this, with her hands and feet tied?
Had she been kidnapped? But she had been inside the International Police facility, the Pacific Buoy. Who was powerful enough to break into the Pacific Buoy and kidnap her?
Just as Naomi was feeling terrified, the cabin door opened.
The figures of Gin and Toru, both dressed in black, appeared at the door.
Gin said to Toru, "Bring her out."
Toru glanced at him. "Gin, I am not your subordinate."
Vodka quickly smoothed things over. "Brother, I'll bring her out!"
Saying that, Vodka stepped forward, grabbed Naomi's hair roughly, and, amid her pain, dragged her from the bunk onto the floor.
"Bitch, come here!"
Vodka dragged her out of the room by her hair like that.
In front of Toru and Gin, Vodka appeared timid, but in reality, he was a professional killer who had killed countless people and was fierce and violent.
Vodka removed the tape from Naomi's mouth. She cried out, "Who are you? What do you want? Where am I?"
None of them spoke, allowing Vodka to take her to a closed room.
Gin and Toru stood to the side, watching Vodka tie Naomi to a chair.
Vodka snatched the necklace from around Naomi's neck and skillfully took out a USB drive from it, inserting it into the computer in front of him.
He accessed one of the software programs. After opening it, he found that it required a password, so he said to Gin, "Brother, as expected, it's classified. Cracking it is impossible."
Gin walked up to Naomi and said coldly, "Tell me the password."
Naomi shook her head vigorously.
She already knew that these kidnappers were not good people. They looked like terrorists. If they got the all-age identification system, it would be very dangerous, and countless innocent people would be killed or injured.
Gin had not expected her to give the password directly. He sneered, "You won't take the easy way, will you? Martini, Rum should have given you authority, right?"
Toru said with a smile, "Of course. Notify the Europe side."
Vodka excitedly turned on the monitor. When Naomi saw the person appearing on the monitor, her expression filled with terror. "Father?!"
She started struggling violently again, shouting loudly, "...What are you going to do?"
Gin smiled coldly. "Nothing. I just want you to witness a show of how your Father dies in front of you."
"Naomi, remember, your Father was killed by you. If you had honestly told us the password, your Father would not have died."
Saying that, he winked at Vodka.
Vodka picked up the microphone next to him and said excitedly, "Do it. Send our Congressman to the sky!"
Under Naomi's fearful gaze, a gunshot appeared on the monitor.
But unlike what she had imagined, Naomi's Father was not dead. He was still walking around inside the building shown on the monitor.
Vodka frowned. "What's going on? Did they miss?"
In Europe, Austria, on top of a building, Curacao put away her sniper rifle, looking at a dead Black Organization member who had fallen 200 meters away.
"The mission assigned by the Boss is done. Retreat temporarily."
Below the building, police sirens sounded. Curacao put away her sniper rifle and quickly left.
Inside the submarine, Toru and the others could hear the police sirens from the monitor, indicating that this Black Organization assassination attempt had failed.
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief, while Gin's face turned gloomy. "What a waste. They can't even do this simple thing right."
"Brother, what do we do now?"
Vodka looked at Naomi Argento.
Gin said coldly, "It's okay. One failure is not a big deal. Continue sending people to assassinate our congressman."
"Originally, I only planned to kill him, but since that is the case, let's kill the entire Argento family."
"We'll send the bodies of her family and friends to her one by one. I don't believe she won't tell us the password. Vodka, torture her while you're at it and see if she talks."
Naomi, who had just relaxed, watched in horror as Vodka excitedly brought out a pile of instruments of torture.
Before long, terrifying screams echoed inside the submarine.
In less than ten minutes, Naomi was sobbing as she told Gin the password.
Vodka was speechless. "Brother, if we knew this, we could have just tortured her from the start. Why bother with the assassination method? It was unnecessary."
Gin was also speechless.
He had almost forgotten that Naomi was just an ordinary person, not a specially trained agent.
Even agents could not withstand torture, especially with the help of certain drugs.
With the password, Vodka quickly opened the software.
Then, he and Gin saw something that shocked them.
In the software, there were Naomi's previous trial records, and the photos in those records were all of Haibara!
Toru stood to the side and watched this scene, a sudden realization dawning on him.
Before entering the Pacific Buoy, he had asked Mary to protect Haibara.
Although Toru had forgotten most of the plot due to the long passage of time, he still remembered that Haibara seemed to be in danger.
Now that he saw the information in this software, Toru finally knew where the danger came from.
Fortunately, he had sent Mary to protect her in advance, so Haibara should be fine.
Only Rena, who was standing to the side, was flustered.
Because Gin and Vodka had found Haibara's address based on her photos, and it was Toru's house!
This was practically telling everyone that Haibara was related to Sherry!
"This little girl who looks like Sherry is currently on a resort island."
Vodka looked at Gin.
Gin said without hesitation, "Vodka, go there yourself. I'll have Chianti and the others assist you. Bring that girl here."
Gin exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, Sherry!"
