Feeling disappointed
Lena wasn’t persuaded, but she didn’t want to press the issue any further. She thanked him for his time and returned to her seat, frustrated that she hadn’t made any progress in unraveling the riddle.
Stacy stared at Lena, and Lena could tell she was perplexed by what had occurred.
Time was running out
Lena shook her head, signaling that she had reached a dead end. She sat down next to Stacy once more. They were getting close to their target, and time was running short. Lena knew she wouldn’t be able to contact the man once he got off the plane. She needed to figure out how to get to the bottom of things.
