Plot

While driving through the city at night, Chianti complains that Kir still isn't found despite all the resources the organization had spent, but it is to be expected from FBI. Korn said Kir is surely dead, to which Chianti replies that it might be the favourable alternative to her being brainwashed by FBI and turning on them. Gin, who is in another car with Vodka driving, joins the conversation over the phone. He says it is pointless to worry since Kir had been severely tortured before (shot on all four limbs, beaten until her ribs is broken, and given a truth serum), and did not say anything.
