Chapter Text
Wilde
Saira,
I am afraid this is not merely a status report.
As you know, Hamid’s contingent has been working to recover Ishak, as well as others, all close to members of the party.
It is Hades, of course.
The hostages are being held in Rome.
They made use of Einstein to put themselves, in theory, close to where Ishak and the rest are being held hostage, with the intention of swiftly and - one hopes - unnoticeably retrieving the captives.
Einstein has returned. He is alone.
I sent them to Rome, Saira, and not one of them has come back.
Forgive me.
Saira
Wilde,
Excuse my late reply. I have informed my family, and we have needed time.
I have, of course, also informed Apophis, and he was as pleased as you might expect. He has ordered further investigation into Hades’ people, though I do not know who by. If there is any news, I will of course keep you informed.
Thank Einstein for me, please. He must have done his best.
In turn, I ask that you let me know as soon as – if and when– you hear anything of my brothers and their friends.
I hope to hear from you soon.
