From behind Hilja appears a man, who looks similar to Hilja in some ways. He is wearing a suit and red shirt. He is holding a poppy in his hand. He has a worried expression. He approaches Hilja, Maeve, Alexei, Lonrott and any one else who didn't follow along with Tuesday and Malak.
"You need to report back to work Hilja, right now. The Creditors are looking for you. You must leave, RIGHT now." The man says urgently.
Hilja looks at the man, who she is sure that she has never met before.
"Alright, I will go. ...if it is that important....but, I really wanted to stay for the tour." Hilja says with worry.

Tuesday shrieks when he puts smeet in her hair. He's a vicious smeet fighter. She grabs handfuls of the sheets of meat, with full intention of throwing it at him.
She searches the room and can't find Malak. She sighs, exasperated. Finally, she sees him behind the largest vat in the room, and begins to sneak toward him, she sees a man appear behind him and put a knife to his throat, before leading him through the door, another person joins Malak and the person whos holding him. Tuesday frightened and unsure of what to do, quietly follows them, trying to form a plan and taking caution to stay hidden.

Alexei eyes the newcomer, then Hilja.
"Friend of yours?" He asks.

Sidapa finds a back entrance used for dumping smeet waste. He brings Malak out into the light, but before he does, he turns to his assistant in this mission and whispers that he should try to catch Tuesday. That there is a van in the back and they will be brought to a Manalist prison.
Many prisoners are turned over to the Manalists since most political rebels are also religious rebels and it saves on resources to have them imprisoned with the Manalists.
With that done, Sidapa pushes Malak out to a van. The van is a rusty, worn out bread truck actually, but it is good enough to transport the prisoners to the nearest temple prison.

"I don't know who he is." I reply. I feel some sort of danger but also urgency that I must listen to this person.
"I'm sorry Maeve and Rosette. If anyone wants, you can visit me in Helsinki where I live. This is my address."
I scribble it down for Maeve and turn to the stranger. "Alright, I will go back to Helsinki if I must."

Markus nods, his Tonfa blades sliding into his hands and flipping vigorously, He then bounds off in the direction of Tuesday.

Malak is forced into the back of the van and sits uncomfortably on the floor. The van is full of crumbs and smells like rotten pastries. The odor is so strong he nearly gags until he covers his nose and mouth with his shirt. He hopes that Tuesday will be alright.

Sasha leads Hilja out the door of Genetech's labs. When outside, he starts walking to the teleportation booth. "You knew you only had three days off. The Creditors will be upset if you can't pay your bills. You need to be more responsible." Sasha scolds her.
Really he is just a projection of Hilja's powerful imagination and unknown ability to create illusions. So really she is saving herself from danger. "I can't help you all of the time like this. You need to take better care of yourself. Who can save you...but you?"

Tuesday sees that the man is after her, and she panics. Seeing him approaching her hiding place, weapons in hand, shes never been more frightened. She doesn't want to leave Malak, but there isn't much else that she can do. She turns and sprints as fast as her legs will carry her.
She swings open the door leading into the smeet room, and slams it behind her in an effort to slow down her pursuer, she runs out of the room and back to the group, when she arrives shes panting and crying in fear. "Malak...was captured...got to do something..." She manages to pant out.
Shes sure that the person who was following her is close behind, but she doesn't have any sort of weapon to protect herself, her only hope at this point is that he won't take her with so many witnesses.

Alexei frowns thoughtfully as Hilja exits, he feels curious, but doesn't pursue. It occurs to him some people are missing. He looks to Maeve.
"Where did everyone get off to?" he asks.
Alexei then blinks as someone runs out.
"What?" He asks, he pulls out his manala pistol, looking around fearfully.
"What happened?" He demands.

Markus stops and pauses as he nears where she went, recognizing the group. He does his best to assess the situation, then stepped out, his blade twirling fluidly as he begins to stride towards the group.

I follow the man into the teleporter and find myself back in Helsinki. Then it is the long walk home. I am very disappointed. I rarely get to have any fun. It is only work work work. Oh well, at least I have this stranger to keep me company.
I go through my bills and talk to the stranger, who I think is behind me...or at least followed me home.
"So what's your name anyway, and how do you know me?" I ask as I sort through bills. There is no answer.
"How do you know me?" I repeat.
I turn around and no one is there.

Sidapa makes sure that the van is locked, but still he doesn't want to leave Malak alone to escape. He decides that Markus is on his own now unless another member of the Invisible Hand shows up. For now, Sidapa takes the driver's seat of the van and waits for Markus to appear with more prisoners. He keeps an eye on Malak through a thick, but dirty window to the back of the truck.

Tuesday gasps for breath, and wipes the tears from her cheeks with the back of her hand. "Malak and I were doing a little exploring..." She explains, not noticing that the man who was chasing her had joined them.
"We were in the smeet room, and this person put a knife to his throat and took him through a door, someone started chasing me, and we have to go help him!" She says, frantically.

"What the fuck is that thing!?" Alexei cries out.
He immediately pushes Tuesday away and starts to fire on Markus.
He fires three shots.
