A woman in authority orders every port, airport and dock in Amila City checked and demands that 'her' be brought back by day's end. Surveillance fails, technicians can't fix the system, and staff suspect sabotage. A person hurrying to see an old man is questioned while the speaker presses for reward and lists three points: the addressee missed her wedding day, must keep a powerful matter from 'madam' (so 'Uncle' should feign ignorance), and she hates the smell of smoke. With surveillance sabotaged and instructed silence, the recovery stalls; Little Amber has really grown up.
