Emery shook her head slightly. “There’s no substantive evidence, but all signs point to Fuller Corporation. Also, all the companies abroad are now unable to continue operating.”

After briefly greeting me, he glanced at Emery and said, “Honey, I have another class in the evening, so I’ll be back slightly later. I’ve booked the flight to J City and packed your suitcase.
