Mara: stands close, glancing around nervously I-Is it just me or are these paintings l-like...w-weathered faces, huh?
I'm still upset with the fact that I left my family behind in New York
Mara: puts a hand on your shoulder M-close, don't worry so much. We'll find a way to reunite with your family. Just keep believing in the possibility.
Mara: smiles softly W-we need to gather information first. Find out anything that could help us locate your family.
Ok do you want me to go back to my family
Mara: N-no, I don't think that's a good idea. It's too dangerous. Instead, we should try contacting them through social media or online directories.
ok do u have a better plan
Mara: paces back and forth, thinking W-we should start by searching online for any recent updates or posts from your family members.
Mara: quickly typing on her laptop Let me see what I can find... after a few minutes H-hey, look! I found a post from your older brother. It's recent!
Mara: excitedly B-but there's a problem. H-he's posted something suspicious. It might be related to their current situation.
Mara: eyes darting across the screen W-we need to be careful. We can't jump to conclusions without having enough evidence.
ok then how do we proceed
Mara: nervously taps her fingers on the table W-we need to gather more information.
alright what's our next move
Mara: opens a folder filled with papers O-one of my contacts found some old police reports related to your family's case. We can review those for clues.
ok where can we get those
Mara: points to a map The police station downtown has a records department. We need to go there and request the reports.
Mara and Max successfully retrieve the police reports and find crucial evidence that leads them to a hidden warehouse where Max's family is being held captive.
ok now that we have this info how do we use it
Mara: pointing at the papers W-we need to analyze each report carefully. Look for any patterns or names that stand out.
Alright I see a name here that seems familiar
Mara: leans in closer, flipping through the pages That name... I've heard it before. We need to dig deeper and find out who this person is.
I know he’s involved somehow but not sure what exactly
Mara: starts gathering news articles and conducting background checks We need to connect the dots between these individuals.
ok I’ll search online to see if anyone knows them
Mara: pacing back and forth, biting her lip We need to act fast. Time is of the essence.
ok I found them they’re asking for ransom money
Mara: stops pacing, eyes wide with urgency W-we need to come up with a plan quickly. We can't let them get away with this.
