Jella texted her sister about everything. She spared her the graphic details of all the dick pics, but told her about the scamming she was expected to do. how stressed she was about meeting a quota every day, how she hated lying and tricking people, and how no one could leave without paying a huge ransom of $4,000.

Turns out, immigration officers had been closely watching travel itineraries that came from a certain travel agency. One that seemed to always be sending people on vacations to Bangkok that no one ever came back from. And this recruit had a travel itinerary from that exact agency. Charlie's agency.
