Kelsey, seated across from Matthew, listened quietly as he recounted his past. Her voice, when she finally spoke, trembled with sorrow. "Mr. Larden, I had no idea you went through so much. If I'd known, I wouldn't have asked such insensitive questions."
Naturally. How can I fish for genuine information if you already know?! A flicker of helplessness crossed Matthew's face.
Women really were born actors. Matthew believed that if he let her keep going, Kelsey might just go on with this little act all night.
"All right, enough about me, Ms. Kelsey," he said, tone shifting. "Can I ask you a few things now?"
Normally, in places like this, one'd drop a hint, let the other party take the bait, and spar verbally until something useful slipped out. However, Matthew had a feeling that with Kelsey, unless he came right out and asked, she wouldn't give up anything of value.
Instantly, the sorrow on Kelsey's face vanished, replaced by a glimmer of curiosity. "What do you want to know, Mr. Larden?"
Matthew met her gaze calmly, not the slightest bit surprised by her sudden change in demeanor. "I want to know everything you've got on the Medusa Gang. The clearer, the better."
The Medusa Gang had been one of the players behind the hijacking of overseas Marine Corps cargo. That last deal, the one that went missing, was likely tied to them. If he could track them down, he might just be able to recover that shipment—or at least find a trail.
At his words, the amusement in Kelsey's expression faded. Her features tightened with gravity. "Mr. Larden… do you even realize what you're asking? You know what kind of power the Medusa Gang holds, don't you? You really think someone like me—a mere brothel manager—would know anything about them?"
Matthew chuckled lightly. "A brothel manager? No, no, Ms. Kelsey. Do I look like some drifter to you?"

Kelsey didn't respond right away. Instead, she fell into thought, weighing the risk. Should I take this deal? Is this man worth selling Medusa Gang intelligence for? And what if he's one of them?
