After the sister had reunited with each other, they walked back to the tower's entrance. While they were walking back, Ela had filled Zofia in on what was going on, from waking up in the prison cell, getting out, fighting a giant lake monster all the way to meeting up with her at the Helicopter crash.

Unlike the city power system that was malfunctioning at best, all of the lights were on in this place with very big floodlights way up high on the really tall ceiling showing the two of them every last feature of the room. Not that there was a lot to speak of, just a concrete floor and a bunch of support pillars....a few catwalks up on the higher levels, and what looked like a large cargo elevator that was....hey there's a car moving. It was going up to the higher levels of the tower...and there was a person standing there.

???: It's on its way up. I'm gonna go back and find her before I'm missed.

All Father: Well done. You done a lot for me and the family. To show you something, I left you something over there by that pillar on your left....I hope its all worth for you.

Because of the intensity of the floodlights, as well as the echoing and the noise from the elevator, it was impossible to tell who was the person walking away from the elevator....but they were working for the All father, then they could not let him get away. Zofia mentioned her sister to go around the other way while she snuck up  from behind, Ela kept her pistol at the ready as she looped around the other side of the pillar behind him. The man was searching for something around the pillar where the All father had left something for him, so Zofia grabbed him from behind, putting the man into a full-nelson hold while Ela warm around the front, aiming her pistol at him.

Ela: You move a muscle I'll shoot! Why did you send the.....Lukas?!

Gasping with shock at hearing that name, the elder Bosak released her prisoner from the hold, and sure enough it was her husband that turned around to look at her. No, that's impossible, why would her husband of all people do anything for the All father, let alone receive some kind of reward for it? For the what felt like a really long time the three of them just stood there looking like they were about to start talking. Ela recollected her thoughts.

Ela: Lukas....what are doing here?

Lukas: I'm happy you're here Ela. I got turned around after we split up back there, and I couldn't get back to you, but listen....your right. This is most likely the All Father's base of operations, I'm sure how I can get the this elevator to come down.

Zofia: Lukas....you sent up the elevator. We saw you do it, and I heard a thank you coming from Ela's bracelet for whatever you did. Lukas. I am your wife, and I don't like been lied to. So tell me what is going on here?

All Father: Yes Lukas, tell her. Tell your wife what you've been doing behind her back and watch her fragile heart break into little pieces. Or will I tell her?

Lukas: Zofia, don't listen to him he's trying to mess with your head!

All Father:  Lukas, here had arranged the party himself, bring all the employees and relatives of the employees to the party. Lukas employed ex-spetznaz to ambush the party to kidnap the guests and bring them to this very island. Lukas here is a fellow member of the Atlas group.

Ela: Atlas? The group who caused the outbreak in Hong Kong a year ago?

All Father: Very good, Ela. Lukas here works secretly with Atlas and was sent here by them to report on my experiment. I have sent a few off and they gave me in return a little 'something' they wanted to test out. I'm deeply sorry to reveal this to you Ms. Bosak. But your husband has been no good to you from the start.
