Vincent’s concern was evident as he observed her.
“Send me the lab’s details. I’ll help with the investigation.”
“Alright.” She forwarded the information to him.
As she considered her next steps, she said, “A secretive facility like this would normally guard client identities closely. If we can’t get them to talk, I have a backup plan.”
“Whatever you decide, just keep me informed,” Vincent insisted, his gaze laden with concern. “Alright?” His awareness of the potential dangers surrounding Katelyn was growing.
Katelyn almost ed, but Vincent’s earnest expression made her pause. She smiled softly. “Alright.”
The details from the lab were comprehensive, even including Amiri’s personal contact. As a premier hacker, Katelyn was well-prepared with her own resources. Uncovering hidden information was a straightforward task for her.
She dialed Amiri’s number, and he picked up promptly.
Katelyn asked with courtesy, “Is this Mr. Faulkner?”
“Who is this?” came the wary response.
“Name’s Bailey,” she introduced herself. “I’ve heard your lab is at the forefront of specialized drug development, and I’m keen to learn more. Could we perhaps meet to discuss this further?”
After a brief pause, Amiri consented. “Alright.”
“Excellent,” Katelyn replied, settling back into the sofa. “I’ll send you the details later, or we can meet at a time that suits you better.”
“No problem,” Amiri responded.

Once the call ended, Katelyn set down her phone and massaged her temples. Looking up at Vincent, she spoke softly. “I’ll have Hades check on you later. I need to meet this person first.”
Vincent, visibly concerned, responded, “I’m feeling much better. I’ll accompany you.” His vigilance over Katelyn’s safety had intensified after recent events.
Katelyn paused briefly, but then agreed, “Alright.”
Amiri chose the meeting location—a secluded restaurant nearby. When Katelyn and Vincent arrived, Amiri was already there, looking scholarly in glasses and a suit. Surprise flickered across his face upon seeing Vincent.
“Mr. Adams, I wasn’t expecting you to be the one reaching out.”
Vincent studied him, his brow furrowed. “Have we met before?”
“We haven’t personally, but who in this city hasn’t heard of you?” Amiri replied, adjusting his glasses with a smile. “What can I assist you with today?”
Just as Katelyn was about to speak, the door to their private room swung open.
The person who entered was a waiter. He was there to serve, and nothing more. Katelyn secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Maybe it was the unsettling incident with Sophia that had put her on edge. She was still mindful of her reputation and Carol’s connection to the discussion.
