Mag returned to the dormitory and then sent a message to Xi: "Everything proceeded smoothly."
He attached two photographs. One was Norma munching on the rib indulgently. The other was Gardner drinking the red wine and eating the rib.
"What's your next step?" Xi replied quickly.
"I think if the McCarthy Family is indeed involved in Congressman Tamm's kidnapping, then Gardner must be the one in control behind the scenes. I have already gained Norma's trust and I have the chance to get close to Gardner. But, I'll need someone who can help me hack into the McCarthy bangles." Mag's plan was very simple. It was to make the receiving of the evidence reasonable.
He had the encrypted letter between Gardner and the head of the McCarthy Family. Now, he only needed to let Xi and Ferdinand think that the methods he used to get the intel were reasonable and wouldn't suspect that he had other assistance.
