"Oh, right. The latest intelligence says Yala left the sea route immediately after her successful advancement. Her whereabouts are unknown."
Annie suddenly spoke after watching Dunn finish looking through the documents.
This was new information Annie had discovered when, after receiving the intelligence, she had taken a sudden interest in using her authority to check Yala's location.
