Leon was looking at the report in front of him. From the latest information, it was quite strongly implied that the Eskorian spy is related to the hospital. Maybe he is one of the hospital stuff but Leon didn't remember seeing anyone at the hospital with blue eyes. Maybe they have an ally at the hospital who they visit. He has to find out who the spy is communicating within the hospital.

Thinking about the hospital by default his mind landed on his little nurse. He knows that he pushed her a little hard yesterday. It was not his intention at all but somehow whenever he is close to her his rational mind takes a leave. He never felt this way about any women. In his military life, he dated his fair share of women but none evoked such strong emotions from him. He is drawn towards her like she is the other part of his soul. The connection is so strong that he sometimes gets scared himself and he knows she feels the same. That's why he so desperately wants her to give in.

Leon diverted his thoughts back to his office and focused on the soldier before him.

"So is there any other information or this is it?"

"We have another information that another Escorian spy recently came to Ocren. We suspect that he might have a direct link with the spy that shot you, Captain. We are still trying to gather information about this one."

"Hmm. Another one. They might be desperate about the plans. Okay, soldier, good job for now but try to gather info about that other spy as soon as possible. He might be the key to catch our main culprit."

"Yes, Sir."

The soldier saluted Leon and left the room. Maybe it's time to set another trap, Leon thought to himself quietly.

Hilal was reading a letter. If anybody else reads it, to them it would seem like a letter from a concerned aunt to her niece. But it was actually sent from the Eskor spy office in code language and the message was clear.

Time is running out. Ocrenians are closing in really fast. She has to get the plan within two weeks or the mission will be considered a failure.

If the letter just ended there then she won't be that worried at all but it didn't. The next paragraph contains a message that is practically a threat to her brother. If she can't finish the mission then both she and Mehmet will pay the price.

It was nothing new. General Tevfik used Mehmet to pressurize her with a mission many times before. But this time it was really trying her patience. She is trying her damned best and they know it. Still, they use this kind of dirty trick on her.

But like many times before Hilal won't let anything happen to her brother. It's time she comes up with a new plan to finish what she came here to do, Hilal thought to herself determinedly.

Leon came to the hospital to investigate about the spy based on the information that he got early in the morning. But he can't help but look around for her too. He entered the nurse's room in hope that Hilal will be there but his luck was just not with him. Instead of Hilal, he found nurse Ayse in the room.

"How can I help you captain Leon," Nurse Ayse said to Leon.

"I was looking for the employee and patient ledgers of the hospital."

"Of course Captain. Wait a minute and I will bring them to you."

But before she can leave Leon interrupted her with a question.
