The assistant looked surprised. "What do you need this for?"

She casually made up an excuse.

After getting the address, she quickly took a cab to the family's home. They lived in an old building in the rundown part of town. Most of the buildings there were slated for demolition. The walls were peeling, and everything looked aged beyond repair. Even the doors were heavy iron ones.
