Mr. Ballin

But after she thought about it for a moment, she said there was someone who might be able to tell Verriere more.

And then she called their 12-year-old daughter, Alabama, into the room.

Alabama appeared very visibly nervous and shaken up by everything going on with her dad.

But her mother, Claude, took her hand and encouraged her to share her story.

And slowly, the girl began to speak.

She said that about a week before her dad disappeared, he'd brought her along on a very strange errand.

They'd parked outside of a tunnel, and he'd told her to wait in the car.

And then he got out and walked into this tunnel to meet with someone.

It was a man.

but it was too dark in the tunnel for Alabama to make out the man's features.

But she definitely saw her father, Patrick, hand this man some kind of package before he quickly turned and ran back to the car.

And then afterwards, her father wouldn't tell her who this man was.

He just said that he'd done something really stupid, and because of it, he now owed some people a lot of money.

After Alabama finished talking, her mother, Claude, thanked her and sent her back out of the room.

And then once she was gone, Verriere asked Claude if she knew who this man in the tunnel might be.

But Claude said she had no idea.

But she said she did have one name that was worth looking into.

Now, this was not someone who would have lent Patryk any money.

But instead, it was a man who held a personal grudge against him.

His name was Remy Shen, and he was a local hairstylist.
