The couple went to the written address and heard music playing from The Handlers room.

"Ah, the married couple, I've been waiting for you." The Handler said and the two walked in to see Agnes tied up

"Three days."

"Well, you've had time to heal. Unfortunately" Cora muttered

"Luckily, for both of us, time...is the one thing my organization has an abundance of."

"Got your message, by the way. Nice packaging, but so much for Commission protocol."

"Why did you call us here?"
