Maya has never done anything this... big before. She has interviewed law enforcement before — detectives, other police, the like — and had helped expose corruption before too, but...

That is such a big thing for a girl from a small town in The Middle of —

She doesn’t expect him to answer all her questions. Hell, she wouldn’t mind—

if he didn’t answer 𝘢𝘯𝘺 of them, but... she had a feeling he would. If only for Matt’s sake.

And that’s how she landed an interview with Interpol Agent Shi-Long Lang — which is the biggest thing she’s ever managed in her 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦 career. Talk about nerve-wracking!

“So, Angent Lang...” she begins. “I want to preface this by saying that you don’t have to answer all my questions. If it’s a question that could be dangerous, or you just dont wanna answer, you can just pass up on it. I’m not the press. It’s not that big of a deal.”

She flipped—

— open her handy-dandy notepad to the page where her questions were prepared— not many, but enough, with space left to jot down the answers.

“Um... are you ready to begin?”
