Mia had just given Ryan a fresh lead for the investigation. She'd managed to get some info from a street vendor, and Ryan quickly typed it into a message and sent it over to Alice.
The gang wasn't short on skilled operatives, and some detectives who had once profiled criminals had crossed the line and ended up working for Alice.
Alice seemed busy, though, and didn't pick up when Ryan called.
About ten minutes later, a picture came through from an unknown number to Ryan's phone.
The image showed a man who looked like he'd seen better days. His scruffy beard was long overdue for a trim, curling at the ends, and in stark contrast to his wild facial hair, his head was balding.
A bald guy, with a scar near his eye. No wonder the vendor had said, after some thought, that the guy didn't exactly look like a saint.
