Katelyn pulled the recorder from her pocket and held it up in front of the man.
“Is this what you’re after?” she asked.
For a brief moment, the man’s eyes brightened, but then he shook his head, refusing to acknowledge it.
“I have no idea what that is. I swear, I don’t know.”
With a cold glare, Vincent closed the gap between them and seized the man’s collar firmly.
“If this recorder means nothing to you, then you can explain yourself to the police. But if you’re honest with me now, I might be willing to cut you some slack.”
Hesitation and fear clouded the man’s eyes.
Katelyn wasted no time.
“I think you’ve been following me. You’ve been taking pictures without my permission, spying on me. I could hire a lawyer and take you to court over this.”
The man’s fear was clear in his shaking voice. He quickly blurted out, “I don’t know anything, I promise. Someone just paid me to snap a few pictures.”
A touch of irony flickered in Katelyn’s eyes.
She had been thinking hard about how to handle this, yet the answer had come to her so effortlessly.
“Who hired you? Tell me their contact details.”
The man’s head moved slowly from side to side.
“I don’t know who reached out. My boss handled everything.” The boss he referred to was the other man from the recording.

“Get your boss on the phone and bring him here. If you cooperate, I might just let you walk free.”
After the threat, Katelyn gave a hint of a reward, slipping the recorder back into her pocket.
“But if you pull anything funny, you’ll regret it.”
The man managed a tight, reluctant smile.
“I’ll cooperate, I swear.”
He pulled out his phone and dialed quickly.
“Boss, you need to help me. I’ve been caught, but if we work together, they’ll let us go!”
The voice on the other end swore angrily, his frustration clear.
“You’re completely useless! You can’t do anything right! I’m finished with you!”
The call was suddenly cut off.
In a panic, the young man shouted, “Boss, please!” He pleaded again and again, but no one answered. He dialed the number once more, only to hear the call end abruptly again.
A wave of despair spread across his face.
“What am I supposed to do now? He just tossed me aside.”
