A barricade has been erected outside of the IKEA, making it difficult to identify where exactly they are. 

A small building has been erected between the IKEA and the barricade. The moment the door opens, four people dressed in full tactical gear emerge. They move quickly, but calmly and raise their guns to point them at the door.

"Are you being chased?" one of them calls.

"No," says Miranda. "We heard an employee but it didn't pass within line of sight."

Permalink

"Come out and kneel. Put your hands behind your head."

Kyoya's been standing back, holding the door open. He steps forward.

"There are other people here. If we let the door close, we might not be able to get them out."

Permalink

One of the armored people jerks slightly when Kyoya starts speaking.

"Director?" she asks, sounding incredulous. 

Permalink

"Agent Quinn," he says. 

"I'm not sure this is my world of origin. What is the date?"

 

Permalink

Another agent has begun talking urgently and softly into their radio.

"June 17th, 2015."

The agent next to her turns and says something sharply.

"Then, unless I've been missing for two years, this isn't my world of origin. I can provide the relevant passphrases from two years, but they may not match."

Miranda kneels in such a way as to catch the door, and puts her hands behind her head. In her pocket, texts to Ned retry.

Permalink

The texts go through.

Once Kyoya sees that Miranda has the door, he also kneels and puts his hands behind his head.

One of the agents keeps their gun leveled at the door. It's focused on the space behind Kyoya and Miranda, not at them. 

The other two are talking urgently over their radios. 

Permalink

Miranda waits.

Her phone bleeps; she waits less patiently after that.

Permalink

A door in the barricade opens, another team comes through. Their tactical gear is more serious than the initial team of three. Not a single inch of bare skin shows for any of them. 

They approach Kyoya directly.

Permalink

Kyoya seems unalarmed and waits. 

Permalink

Without giving any warning or speaking to either of them, they place a mask over Kyoya's face. 

Permalink

He inhales and falls immediately unconscious. 

Permalink

They pick him up and depart. 

Permalink

"- excuse me?" Miranda asks the nearest jackbooted thug tentatively.

Permalink

"One moment," one of the initial three agents says, not impolitely. 

After the agents carrying Kyoya have departed, she says, "I am going to come over to hold the door. Please remain where you are and do not make any sudden moves."

Permalink

"Yes sir."

Permalink

The agent comes over and takes hold of the door. 

After that, they ask her name and explain that they will need to debrief her and check for contamination before she can return home.

They direct her to a van with seats in the back and no windows. The van looks extremely durable and locks. There is no access to the driver's seat. One of the agents gets in with her.

"May I check my phone?"

Permalink

The agent shakes his head.

"Not until after you are debriefed."

Permalink

"Can you tell me what you did with Kyoya?"
