Lara's debt

Lara turns on her heel and marches out of the empty library, ignoring the physical ache as she walks back to the rented sedan. She guns the engine and drives straight back to the city center. She needs answers. The lawyer and the brothel owner are clearly connected, and the lawyer is the key to finding her father's missing desk and journal.She bursts back through the doors of the neon-lit establishment. The morning cleanup is underway, and the lounge is empty except for the boss. The brothel owner looks up from her coffee, surprised to see Lara back so soon.Lara slams her hands down on the bar, looking the woman dead in the eye. "The manor is cleaned out," Lara demands. "The lawyer took everything. You know him. Where is his office, and what is his angle?"The owner sighs, setting her cup down. She realizes Lara isn't someone to be trifled with. "His name is Vance," the owner reveals quietly. "His main office is at the financial district downtown, top floor of the Apex Tower. But he doesn't work alone. He handles assets for a shady offshore syndicate."
