Rafael looked at Glenn, who was putting away his gun and carefully inspecting the impact point on the body, "What do you mean? Do you suspect that this multiple homicide is related to NEP1?"

Glenn didn't look at him, just said casually, "For now, it's just a suspicion. You know, NEP1 was brought here by Kapralov's people."

"You know this guy?"

"Hmmm. This guy is the guy behind 'Russian Nights' in the Miami area, running Russian strip bars, Russian girl clubs, and some special on-call services."

"Okay, you and the local police will handle this case." Raphael put his gun on his back, took out his multi-functional handheld computer smartphone, and prepared to make a call.

"Of course." After Glenn finished speaking, he carefully stepped on the place that was not soaked in blood, and walked out the door.

At this time, Raphael's phone rang first, and after connecting, he said, "I'm Magnussen."

Titus on the phone, said, "Hey, boss. Uh...we tracked the signal of the chip in the waters of Indian Creek Lake on the south coast of the Harbor Bay Islands."

"What? What's the situation now?"

"Uh...NEP1 was not found at the scene, we suspect that she has taken out the encryption chip."

"Understood, come right away."

Raphael put down the phone and said to Glenn beside him, "Go, we're in trouble."

Glenn asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"NEP1 may have taken out the chip and disappeared."

"Disappeared!? Well, I will get in touch with DHS, NSA immediately."

"Well, I contacted the North Miami Police Department and got surveillance video of this restaurant and the 6 blocks around the Harbor Islands. I have to find her."

5 minutes ago, in the apartment of the Ukrainian girl Katerina.Gloria washed off the stains, blood, and body soaked in sweat and sea water for a long time, and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bath towel with the heat from the bath all over her body.

Katerina, with her feet up on the coffee table, blinked several times in a row, and shouted in English with a Russian accent, "God! Gloria, you...you are so sexy!"

Gloria sat beside her, toweling her hair. "Thanks. Um, really?"

"Of course. Look, great white teeth, low-fat toned body, tanned skin, and . . . you're quick, smart. Wait, I think you're pretty much a human being."

"Like who?"

"Well, she was a guest on the TV show "Heroes", the female astronaut who landed on Mars."

"Come on, do you think I look like a woman who's been to Mars?"

Katerina quickly picked up a magazine, flipped through a few pages and compared it to Gloria's face, "Yes, this is you. Tell me, you are really the female astronaut who went to Mars ?”

Gloria took the magazine and took a closer look. The photo on it was really a standard photo of himself as an astronaut.Glancing at the Ukrainian girl, she nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's me."

"Great, you are Captain Gloria Curtis!?"

"Yes, yes. Now, are you satisfied?"

"It's so interesting that the greatest American female astronaut who landed on Mars in the 21st century will appear in my apartment! But why did you suddenly appear in North Miami? And why did you appear in Igor's office?" Katerin Na asked with full of suspicion.

"Well, now that you know who I am, I'll tell you something," Gloria replied.

Two minutes later, Katerina stared at her, "I... am a little surprised that your marriage is a same-sex marriage."

Gloria smiled faintly, "I can't lose the people I love the most and my family because of some reasons of work and myself. So, I came to Miami just to get back the gift my wife gave me."

"I can understand you. So, what you did in Igor's office was for me?"

"Basically. You know, no matter who you are or what you do, you should be treated equally in this society. Even though this guy is only in the sex-porn industry."

"Gloria, you know what my job is. But that's not my ideal."

"I know. So, I will try my best to help you, do what you like to do, and enjoy the freedom and equal rights that everyone is born with."

"Thank you, Gloria, I will." Katerina hugged each other excitedly.

"Uh, when we first met, you really thought of me as a competitor in your industry?" Gloria joked.

"Damn it, fuck you."

"Uh, let Igor and his people go to hell." The two embraced and smiled happily.

Katerina looked at her happily, "Okay. Now, let's go to lunch?!"

Gloria shook her head, "No, I'm going to get the necklace and leave Miami before they find me."

"Well, how about I get it for you? If it's really what you said, it's dangerous."

"No, it's more than 200 miles from here to the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, and it will take more than three hours to get there."

"Gloria, you can do so much for me, why don't you let me help you once?" Katerina said.

"Thank you. Only, I didn't do anything." Gloria shook her head.
