"So, Marcus apparently had a wife and kid. That was likely the information he needed from Mr. Cortez. His wife left with the baby before it was born and said she didn't want it anywhere around the lifestyle, Marcus hasn't seen her since." Emily stares at Ian shocked.
"Any idea on his real name yet?" Ian shakes his head. "Look Avalyn, after all this with Mr Cortez, I went back and searched for Marcus. He doesn't exist, sure there are bank accounts and everything in his name. But his name, and date of birth. There is no record, there's a chance his name wasn't even Marcus, and he had changed it while looking for his wife so she wouldn't find out he was close." Avalyn simply nods again. She doesn't want to know. She doesn't want to talk about Marcus anymore or have to accept she was nothing more than a game to him, to get what he needed.
