"I understand, Eve, but we can't act without evidence," Avery said over the phone. "Ambryan wouldn't like it either if there's no concrete proof. Right now, he's facing an opportunity that is too good to pass. It would be a waste if we turned out to be wrong."

"How would we do that?" 

"I was thinking I could but…" 

"But…?"

"I think Evangeline would have greater success."
