Chapter 409

Mr. Lippert had someone with him named Parker, who managed to track down the lead to an abandoned junkyard. How they found any clue in that mess was beyond me.

Found that unregistered black car. It got plates in Emperor City and was driven close to here.

Ludwik frowned, meaning Sammy's trail ends here.

"Keep looking. If we find the car, we find Sammy's fingerprints, and who put the plates on it," he turned to leave.
