The cops had been all over Alistair Pavlo's disappearance and Detective Kao had ensured that he'd not be found, but now there was a cop about to deliver the news. To say Flynn was displeased was an understatement. The Syndicate had failed.
But he put on the smile he was expected and invited the detective to his private office at Vaia Plus just to smooth things over. Detective Vega was a man of immense wealth and power if he chose it but instead, he was a cop in Moscow and he wondered why. He solved unprecedented cases his entire case. Strange things, but rarely did he not find the man to blame. Another curiosity.
Flynn's secretary showed Detective Vega into his office. The younger man wore a suit that spoke of his wealth and place in the world. He was a much better representation of money than Kao had been. Was he a dirty cop too?
"Detective Vega. Take a seat, what news do you bring me that could be so pressing."
