"So you're saying that Professor Roth should know more than he appears to?" Marco asked over the phone at 3 am because Nancy wouldn't stop ringing his cell.
"Yeah!" Nancy exclaimed, "Think about it. Why would he disappear? If he was searching for Samuel, then he would've told us. I bet he knows where Samuel is at and he's busy completing his quest." She added enthusiastically.
"Yeah, but it's 3 am, and I would love to know how you reached this hypothesis," Marco replied.
Nancy pressed her lips together. What she had in mind wasn't coming out to her lips, so she wasn't able to convince Marco to believe her hypothesis. But she knew Roth was involved somehow, and she would prove it to Marco later.
