Of course, this doesn't really matter much, now that we have access to the site. Figured I'd post it anyway.

After a fashion.

It looks like he got the data out of the car, an image file, but still
needs to decrypt it.

 		Laughing That's great.

I wonder if her loyalty to Virgil will continue after we find out he has the heads of all his ex-girlfriends in his bedroom closet Very Happy

 		Email to Nisha
I managed to Email the Audi's VIN before Ian got the cleaned up pic but I didn't hear any reply about whether she got it in time. About how long has it taken Nisha to get back to all of you?

 		One of my responses came very quickly, around 10 minutes after I sent it.

In any case, here are my emails from the day she was checking around Union City.

Quote:
About to leave the office for a short trip, why do you think he's there?
Are you one of his hacker friends? Email me back, I'll check emails
while Im driving.

-n


In addition to some other stuff I replied:

Quote:
I should add I've heard you've got a little friend with you. I hear they're adverse to tunnels and parking garages.


And her response:
Quote:
Almost to Conneticut....Union City is huge, a suburb of Jersey City.
Checking this place first.

And ya I know about the friend along for the ride, not much I can do,
thanks for the advice


later...(I didn't send any emails in between)

Quote:
he's not where I thought. checking hotels in Union u gave me.

Let me knjow if u hear nethng else

hard 2 type while driving...didnt brng voice 2 text thingie

-n


Still later... (at this point we're on IRC trying to decide what to do)

Quote:
ya, looking. no luck so far.

-n


About 30 minutes later she folds up for the night.

Anyhow, I sent a tip about Pittsburg but did not give any detail. If Ian gets in over his head (not improbable) someone can drop a line about the hotel and hopefully she won't be too far off.

Yeah, it's fine because it looks like our boy fulfilled prophecy.
