Chapter 211
"No worries now; everything's been handled. Let's scoot." To avoid being pounced on by reporters at the gate, Jon thoughtfully took off his jacket and draped it over Astrid. Colton also whipped out his hat.
Masked up, they slipped out of the complex under the watchful eyes of the press.
Back home, Astrid found the little box sent to her by Teresa as she sat in front of her computer.
In fact, she had already peeked inside the night it arrived.
It contained Teresa's diary and various small gifts prepared for different holidays. There was a hand-knit scarf, some handmade dolls, her drawings, etc.
The diary detailed how she was initially captivated by Astrid's magic and her journey thereafter.
What caught Astrid off guard was that Teresa dreamed of having a son and a daughter with Astrid. And... Astrid found baby clothes knitted by Teresa in the box.
She was gobsmacked!
Having carefully read through the diary, she learned about Teresa's near paralysis incident from the performance.
In the months on set, she had come to consider the blushing girl as her friend.
She couldn't fathom the despair the young girl must have felt when she found out the man she wanted to marry had turned into a woman. The least she could do now was find out who was behind all this and avenge her.
As for Fannie, she brought it upon herself and deserved no sympathy.
After tidying up, Astrid booted up her computer and started digging into the name Fannie had given, Quincy.
As expected, it was a pseudonym.
There were countless people around the country with that name.
Since it's a pseudonym, even lodging and travel records were a no-go.
Just a name wasn't enough to narrow things down.
Astrid propped her chin up and tapped her fingers on the desk, feeling that the name was eerily familiar. She must have heard it somewhere. After racking her brain for a long time, it still didn't click. Feeling frustrated, she rested her head on the keyboard.
A few seconds later, she jolted upright!
The dark web!!!
Yes, she had seen this name on the dark web!
Chad had previously bragged about taking on a job from an organization, and the agent's name was Quincy!
Although this Quincy may not be the one she was looking for, she'd rather risk false positives than miss out.
As Astrid logged onto the dark web, she shot a message to Chad. "Chad, didn't you say you took a job from an organization? Wasn't the agent's name Quincy?"
A few seconds later, Chad replied. "Yeah, what's up?"
"Send me his ID; I need to track him down."
Chad replied. "You better drop it, Chief. I swiped tens of millions from them; they're gunning for us. You're just asking for trouble."
Astrid replied. "Cut the crap and give me the ID. You think I can't track him down on my own?"
Chad had no response.
-A few seconds later, Chad sent a string of numbers.
Astrid entered the numbers and zeroed in on Quincy.
She sent a message. "Quincy, need to talk. Let's meet up."
In the office, Elio was working when his phone, used for communicating with Quincy, rang.
He picked it up, and Quincy's flustered voice came through. "Boss, the head of that bully organization from the dark web reached out to me. Can I wipe him off the map?
