“Guess who we’re going to see?” says Max, Friday evening in London, UK, while eating food with Zig in front of their TV.
“Going to see! Nari and Dal. No. No! Ji-min,” replies Zig.
“Yes and No!” answers Max.
“Not Ji-min, though. Well, not in the first meeting. But we will be seeing Nari and Dal soon,” continues Max.
“I spoke to Steve just before leaving work this evening, and he told me to tell you to prepare for a visit to China!” he explains.
“China! Great. Are we going to see Bolin?” asks Zig before sipping her hot green tea.
“Yeah! Bolin and Biyu, along with Nari and Dal, who will be travelling to China shadowed by a Silence agent,” replies Max.
“And guess who else?” adds Max, smiling.
“Nazz?” replies Zig, still eating her food.
“Yes and No again!” says Max.
Zig looks up at Max while chewing a mouthful of food and pointing at her mouth.
“Okay! Okay! I’ll tell you. Mr Gamora,” says Max, knowing Zig was fascinated by Gamora during their Medulla mission.
“Oh! Wow!” mumbles Zig after swallowing her food quickly.
“We’re going to get to meet him? Superb! He’s an interesting man and an unusual character,” she continues after washing her food down with more green tea.
“I know,” agrees Max. “I can't wait to meet him and talk to him about coding, ZandaBots and more!”
“Morning, guys. Come in,” says Steve, Monday morning at Chuckle Technologies, as Judy leads Zig and Max into his office.
“Judy, please stay as well?” continues Steve.
“Morning, Steve,” replies Zig before Max as they sit at Steve’s big table.
“So! Zig, Max, our visit to Shanghai to see Bolin, Nazz, and Mr. Gamora will be different this time. And I think it’ll be very interesting for all of us. Judy’s made most of the arrangements, and one of our agents will be shadowing Nari and Dal, who will meet us there,” continues Steve, looking at Judy.
“Yeah!” says Judy. “Flights and hotels are booked for a week tomorrow!”
“Oh! And Mr Gamora said he’s looking forward to seeing you again, Steve,” continues Judy, turning to look at him.
“Plus, he’s very interested in meeting you two. He has something special he wants you guys to see?” she adds, smiling toward Zig and Max.
“Yeah! I can’t wait for this meeting,” says Steve, grinning as he rubs his hands together.
“Mr Gamora is a remarkable man?” he adds.
All the guys discuss their upcoming trip for some time.
Nine days later.
After their flights, taxi journeys, hotel bookings, and a relaxing afternoon, Steve, Judy, and the guys meet Nari and Dal for breakfast the following day in the hotel’s buffet area.
“Steve, Judy, guys,” says Bolin later that morning, already on his feet as Biyu leads Steve and the guys into his office.
Mr Gamora, sitting at Bolin’s office desk, also gets to his feet to greet everyone.
