Elfie worked overtime and was given orders from above not to include Edward in any follow-up information. He didn't know what went on between Edward and the higher-ups but the hacker had a feeling he would be in big trouble if he spilled any confidential information about the case to Edward or Jasper. Stranger still, Edward wasn't contacting him at all. He only asked for the exclusive pictures, thanked Elfie and ghosted.
After working with Elfie for so long, it was difficult for the hacker to not discuss work with the spy. In times like this, he could really use Edward's brain to analyse the mountain of information together. Edward's eyes were fresher and his brain faster than Elfie's and he wasn't as rigid in thinking like the Interpol and their stifling SOPs. The hacker found himself missing his friend but he tried his best to chin up. They were now very close to nailing Anastasia, they already had crippling evidence about Leah to use.
