As Marco closes the door behind me, my mind races with

questions. Who could this woman be? Why did they hurt

her like that? The same questions keep repeating in my

mind. But, most importantly - how could I make sure

something like this never happened again?

before deciding to head over to Pops’ old office. Maybe

there would be something there that would give me a clue

about what was going on with these traffickers.

about Ian. You still had some old files here,”

“I knew Ian was a scum the moment I met him, but I try to

“Vince! We found her!” Pops hollers excitedly.

“What? Who?

“The girl you found! She’s in the hospital! Her name is

Emma!”

“Which hospital?” I say as I grab my keys to head out the

door.

“She’s at County. Vincent, don't do anything stupid.” Pops

says.
