That day, he had kept it from me, and I had faintly caught a glimpse of a word starting with the letter "C". He had held it high out of reach and said it was a secret, only promising to show it to me if I could get it. He knew how tall he was and that I never could, unless he let me. Now, he froze as if a thought struck him, and he immediately said, "I'll find it and bring it to you, alright?

“I have one more favor to ask. Can you get Mateo to look into a woman named ‘Brooklyn Eversteen’? Apparently she is Vincent’s fiance.” “Youch.
