Once everyone realized Wells has left the building, there wasn't much else they could do, but to return to the conference room. Particularly Ban and Hoji weren't happy about his escape.

"How could he get out that easily?" Ban wondered, "We had him cornered. I don't understand this at all!"

"He must have taken his time to study the area carefully." Hoji figured, "Whenever we thought he was working on..."

"Oh come on!" Umeko interrupted him, "Has it ever occured to you he might not be the mole?"

"With what he's said over the phone as evidence?" Hoji questioned, "Besides, he already confessed."

"All he said was that he granted someone acces to the computers." Sen thought out loud.

"Yeah, isn't that enough?" Ban wondered.

"He also was surprised to hear the recording." Tetsu reasoned, "Like there was something missing."

"Are you saying..." Umeko asked, but couldn't finish her sentence.

"If he isn't the mole, than the real one must have done something with the recording." Sen realized.

"Or..." Hoji brought up, "... it's a lot more simple than that."

"Why is that so hard for you to understand?" Umeko yelled at him.

"And why is the truth so hard for YOU to understand?" Hoji asked her in return, "I mean look at the facts..."

As an example, Hoji mentioned the time that they were to keep a bunch of meteor rocks safe, as well as this one special child. But in the end, Wells hid them away. When asked where to find them, he said: "For the sake of the kid, or this planet, or even the entire universe, it would be best that I have my memory erased so not even I know where to find him."

Then he started about the time that Jasmine had lost her mind, almost literally, but Wells failed to show up then. Then, when he did show himself, he had the nerve to say things like: "You really should learn to say less and talk faster!"

Or was even pretentious enough to start laughing at the Hoji's defense. While he was still laughing, Wells continued, though his laugh faded away with every word he said: "No, no no no. Don't use some psychological bullshit you read in 'Psychology for dummies'! YOU created a monster!"

Once he finished talking about that, Hoji seemed to sweat, after which he appeared to have trouble breathing. As he was doing so, everyone looked shocked, but Jasmine. As it turned out, she was the one doing all this to Hoji.

"You dare to bring that up?!" Jasmine sounded normal, but not to Hoji, "Blame Bill for mistakes you made?! You're lucky he hit your golden badge earlier, but if you would talk like that again..."

Though with some trouble, Hoji replied: "I'm sorry."

That's when Jasmine let go of him. This gave Sen something to think about: "About that time however, wasn't Wells investigating that murder?"

"And wasn't he the one to bring Jasmine back?" Tetsu wondered.

"Or what about Flora?" Umeko brought up, "Who helped Sen-chan solve the case?"

"Or got you and Sen together?" Tetsu added.

"I'm sure he just tried to make himself look good, while he can do all his evil schemes behind our backs!" Ban figured.

Jasmine seemed infuriated, yet somehow didn't seem to know what to say or think. This was new for everyone.

"I've never... known her... like that." Hoji was slowly regaining hid breath.

"Must be love." Sen said, flatly.

Meanwhile, Lisa, Doggy, Gyoku and Bunta, with the assistance of Swan and Shelly, tried to figure out where Wells may have gotten to, while monitoring what the other agents were doing.

"Marie, Shun. Found out how he got out yet?" Doggy asked them.

"No, Boss." Shun replied.

"It's almost like he just vanished out of thin air." Marie remarked, doing everything she can to not show anyone she knows more.

"Yujiro, Nao. How are you doing?" Gyoku asked them, "Found anything?"

"I think so." Yujiro replied, "I think he got through the mecha's hangars."

"But to get there..." Nao started, "... well, there's only one way in which he could have gotten there in time."

"He must have known this room would be deserted." Swan realized.

"Clever." Lisa complimented, "Even for him."

"I've seen him do more than that." Bunta remarked, "Do not underestimate him."

"Think you can find him at his appartment?" Shelly suggested.

"No." Doggy figured, "He knows that's the first place we'd look for."

"So we should look for the last place he'd go to." Gyoku agreed.

"We're also talking about someone who sold us out right under our noses." Lisa said, "He may well be among us, and we wouldn't know it."

"Boss-tachi?!" Ban overheard them talking, "You're not seriously thinking that westerner would be...?"

"He may be what you call a westerner, Banban." Gyoku interrupted him, "But if we underestimate him, it may prove fatal to S.P.D."

"Wait a minute." Swan realized, "Why would Wells be interested in tearing us down?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Hoji figured, "With him not respecting any authority at all, he must have wanted to take over the world through us."
