“Now we can follow the journalist thread that you want.” You’ll look for this Wessam guy on your phone. If the guy didn’t lie to you, his contact information could be online, right?
…
“There’s <span class="mu-i">nothing</span>…” You’re gobsmacked. No results. None. He’s a ghost. An actual ghost. Or a dirty liar… You wonder what the meaning of this is.
“You wrote <span class="mu-i">Wesley Carpet</span>.” Vera glares at you.
“S-Stupid auto-correct.” You retype with your noodle fingers. “Here we go.”
Vera takes your phone from your hands. “He’s a journalist from the Lokyo Observer, and published some best sellers all about dispelling the lies of the dictatorship. You met a pretty famous guy, huh? You’re meeting many important people in a row. Him, me…” Vera has run out of people.
“I guess I did.” You confirm his identity with the photo. “He said he was looking into a case that is going to blow everyone’s minds.” If a guy who writes these kinds of books says he’s working on something big, it must be ginormous...
“I mean <span class="mu-i">we</span> are involved.” Vera gets cheeky.
“This guy must be really busy.” You got his number, but you don’t know if he’ll answer…
“Journalists are salaried gossip ladies. Of course, he’s not.” Vera has a lot of disdain for that line of work.
“I’ll give him a call.” You grab back your phone and dial the number.

Takes some time, but you get something!
“I’m not going to pretend to be your secretary again, Carpetier.” An annoyed young lady complains.
“Come on, Genesis, I’m your boss. Do the funny.” That’s totally the Journalist’s voice.
“You don’t pay me for this, if you don’t want me to take legal action, you better handle your own affairs!” The young lady says.
“<span class="mu-i">Ehem.</span> Wessam Carpetier speaking, what’s your deal?” The fraudster acts like a professional.
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>“Hey, I’m the kid from yesterday. I ended up opening the room and all I found was a rat.” Act casual.
>“Hello, I’m the kid from yesterday. I think I learned something you might be interested in.” Act polite.
>“Hey, I want you to explain yourself. How is the Sewel Scott guy connected to the locked apartment?” Get straight to the point without giving context. If he’s a professional, he’ll quickly put things together.
>Write In.
