Stephan squinted at the screen, recognizing the girl instantly but needing confirmation. He uploaded her picture to the Gang World database, the only place that could extract her information quickly. As he waited, his fingers drummed impatiently on the desk. Moments later, the screen flashed, displaying the girl's data in bold letters.

"Bingo," Stephan muttered under his breath, a sly grin spreading across his face. "Let's see who Noah's been hiding."

His eyes scanned the information rapidly

His eyes scanned the information rapidly. "Ah, there you are," he said, nodding to himself. "Melanie Walker. Age 20. Education is fine arts, a beginner in self defense and crew... interesting."

He leaned back in his chair, still grinning. "Noah, you sly fox. You've got quite the companion."

Stephan picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Yeah, it's me," he said when the call connected. "I found out who Noah's been running around with. Her name's Melanie Walker. I'll send over her details."

As he hung up, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. "Finally," he whispered to himself, "I'll get you where I want you, Noah."

Stephan strode into the room where Elijah sat, poring over maps and documents scattered across the table. The air was thick with the smell of cigar smoke and the tension of countless secrets.

"Sir," Stephan announced, his voice brimming with pride, "I've got some important news."

Elijah looked up, his steely eyes meeting Stephan's with curiosity. "This better be good," he said, leaning back in his chair. "Sir, I've noticed a girl frequently seen with Noah," Stephan began "Our cameras caught them together outside Noah's apartment multiple times. So, I decided to dig into her identity. Today, I finally got all the details we need."

"This should be interesting" Elijah inquired, leaning forward.

"It is," Stephan assured him, holding up a file. "Her name is Melanie. She belongs to the mafia world"

Stephan opened the file and laid out the data on the table. " She's 20 and she's a member of Sorties. But here's the kicker—she's the daughter of John Walker."

Elijah's eyes widened with realization. "John Walker," he repeated, a sinister smile creeping across his face. "So that's why Noah's been so secretive."

"Exactly," Stephan nodded. "No one knows where Walker disappeared to after that day, but his daughter might have some answers."

Elijah tapped his fingers thoughtfully on the table. "We need to use this to our advantage. We can get the information we need about Walker's whereabouts."

Stephan grinned, pleased with the reaction. "I thought the same thing. She's the key to finding him."

Elijah stood up, a determined glint in his eye. "Then it's settled. We'll make our move soon. Prepare the team and gather all the intel we have on her. I want this done cleanly and quickly."
