Since he'd turned her down last time, she hadn't contacted him.

Sidney's brow furrowed immediately.

"Do you have proof, Miss Powell?"

"I saw it with my own eyes! How about this-I'll send you the location. Come see for yourself, and you'll know I'm not lying."

Sidney responded, "Alright, send it over."
