"Yes, I would like to meet them." Sariya said.
John smiled. "I'm glad to hear that, but there's one thing we'd like you do before you go."
"What is it?" she asked.
"The one who compromised you. What is his name?"
"Azan," she answered.
"Ah yes," John continued. "That's good. He's been sabotaging many of our attempts to retrieve the experimental children and has always eluded us. We never even knew his name because he has the backing of the Aceiavay through his benefactor, but we have a chance to lure him to us as he seems to be looking for you. We would like you to play the bait in our trap.
Sariya stared at him, dumbfounded. "I'm not sure if I can do that."
"It's for his own good. The Aceiavay may have brainwashed him. He is one of the experimental children and we need to know that he is safe."
Luke stepped forward. "We can go right now. I won't let him get away a second time."
"Okay," Sariya replied.
John smiled wanly. "Excellent. Then you will make it in time for your mother's swearing in ceremony. She will be happy to know that you've completed your mission and are able to bring in the girl."
