She drove up to where Elena was living.

She took a deep breath.

She got out of her car and knocked on Elena's front door.

And five minutes turned into 10, 10 into 15.

And then at last, after an agonizing wait, there was Elena on a Zoom call, a woman whose face I'd only seen on a kill order was there speaking to me.

And this was the warning I delivered her.

Sorry, there's no easy way of really saying this.

We've come across some information which might mean that someone had put some information regarding you on the site.

Really?

In what way?

She took it unbelievably well.

Now, an important thing to know is that it wasn't just messages going into the site.

The shadowy people running the site were also replying.

Some of these conversations would go back and forth for weeks or months, and we could read all of those as well.

And what we realized when we were reading all of those was that if there were hitmen out there,

These were the most incompetent hitmen on the face of the planet.

They kept losing their weapons, or they kept getting lost.

It'd build up to the hit, and suddenly the target would be too well protected.

They'd have to pull out, new teams have to come in, and every single time the price would go up.

It became really obvious that there were no shadowy hitmen out there.
