Haphezian Embassy

Chaiavis

The woman behind the desk looked as though she’d spent a few too many hours there and acted as though she’d dealt with a few too many incompetent visitors. She kept a distasteful eye on the three HSP captains, and for a moment she looked like she was considering turning them away.

“I’ll need to see some identification, then,” she said with a sigh.

Dasaro reluctantly pulled out his credentials, as did Nejdra and Kyron. “HSP, special operations,” he said.

The woman swiveled to face the computer at her workstation. “What’s the name?” she asked, rolling her eyes down to the screen.

“Kat Reilly,” Dasaro replied. “She lived here at the embassy dorms since birth, left about seven years ago. Hometown is thought to be Argall.”

For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was a gentle tapping as the woman’s fingers flew over the keyboard. Her search queries produced the appropriate results and she projected them via hologram so the three agents could see.

Dasaro’s eyes went straight to the address listed under CURRENT RESIDENCE. “Sheyss,” he muttered. It was the same address their search at HSP had produced, the little abandoned apartment not far from where they stood now. “This is the only residence you have listed?”

The woman nodded. “What you see there is everything we’ve got.”

“We’ve already been there. It’s empty.”

“Captain, I don’t know what to tell you,” the woman said with an exasperated sigh. “This is the last known address we have, and if she’s not there I don’t know where she is.”

Nejdra stepped forward. “Is there anyone we could talk to who would know?”

“Honey, let me explain something to you. The majority of our Residentials who leave never come back. The ones who do are free to come and go as they please – quite frankly, no one really pays attention to who’s hanging around because once they’re of age, they’re not the embassy’s problem anymore. It’s doubtful anyone knows where she is because they probably don’t care.” She deactivated the hologram and stared up at them for a moment, letting her words sink in. “Now, if there’s nothing else, I’ve got work to do.”

Dasaro sent her a hot glare, though she didn’t notice with her gaze directed toward the computer. He turned and waved Nejdra and Kyron toward the door. “Thank you for your time,” he muttered.
