Renee slapped Chase violently across his face, her patience worn thin to the bone.

“Spit it out, will you?!” she demanded. “Just tell me your idea and stop sputtering like that! It’s like you’re teasing me!”

Chase smiled awkwardly and replied, “The impostor, Mr. Q is indeed a cautious man, and he would only contact me through text messages. There’s also no way to ascertain his address or whereabouts through his phone number, so unless he’s willing to voluntarily show up, we have no way of finding him. So far, the only person who can make him turn up willingly is you, Ms. Everheart.”

“I’m afraid I’m not that powerful…” said Renee dejectedly. “Ever since he stood me up, I couldn’t contact him at all. If he really cared about me, he would’ve been a little more to say goodbye before he left.”

“I believe the impostor, Mr. Q, must have a good reason for it…”

“So? Get to the point. What should I do to get him to show up?”

“It’s really simple.” Chase curled his finger in a beckoning gesture at Renee. “Follow me, Ms. Everheart.”
