Inside the box, there lay a small, fiery red earring.
The red earring she used to drug Lucas Walker when she turned eighteen was a gift from Joe.
The one now resembled the previous one, but on closer examination, differences were apparent.
"The syringe is the same as before. The only difference is the added GPS, which allows me to know your location at any time," Joe explained.
Ivana nodded, putting the earring back in her ear, "When will I leave?"
"In a hurry?" Joe asked.
Ivana smiled. "Yeah, it's my first mission, isn't it?"
Her first time working for Joe on an international case like this was, indeed, a bit exciting.
However, that wasn't the key issue. The key was that the man would certainly look for her relentlessly. So naturally, the sooner she left New York, the better.
She hoped that when she was helping Joe solve the case, the man would give up pursuing her, and leave as soon as possible.
"Did you take a leave from school?" Joe asked.
