[quote="Chewy"]RPG, First I like the fact Kain seems to like you. This could be good to exploit.

On that note, I suggest you get off this topic. We want to keep these two entities separate for as long as possible... I spec that as soon as one of us reveals too much, our friend Jack will face a lot more trouble. Trever seems to believe that he could be "terminated" if found.
Quote:


i understand your point chewy of not revealing too much. I still feel we need to make suggestions that will in the end convince kain to reopen the case. If I just stop talking to Kain that will not be good and a way to converse will be closed to us. For right now this is as far as I can think of going. Kain seems to be on Jack's side, it just needs to be done in a specific way. I know what I can and can not say but the idea that kain needs a tip is a big indication.

From Jack we need to know the information of what can reopen this case and who Mr. X is and ways to comfort kain so that more information is leaked.

Well, my work computer does not support Java, so I have asked Kain to chat with me tomorrow. This at least buys me some time hopefully. So, if anyone can think of anything for me to ask, etc. post please. Thanks!

I am new to arg, but my idea myeerah would be to go into a long detailed explanation of who your trying to find. Kind of make a sob story to make him understanding of your position, and not question your motives. Possibly starting off by talking about the "person in question" vaguely and then trying working on the specs. of his company. But than again I am new.

War.

Ok so he was pushy about talking tonight and was able to arrange to talk on AIM.

Basically I played it out and made this story about my sister and blah...

He called my bluff, like I figuered he would. He told me my home address and told me he knows more than I think he does. So, now he is asking me to be his rat. He told me to sleep on it, so that is what I shall do.

Would it be worth having someone else try to pursue your angle, or would that be a little to obvious?

I think it'll be too obvious. He'll know from the beginning.

i am going for that angle myself. I am starting to think that someone is supposed to play the rat card. I am thinking of writing asking if he wants me to write to anyone or what he might need from me.

Thus we can continue the story. I am sure there are those that would disagree.

Got this from Kain:
Quote:
Jrmwilliams;

You'll have to excuse me for what I'm about to say. Old habits die hard.

Information is given out on a need to know basis. Prior to this e-mail you did
not need to know the information that you now do. I do not have to guess at who
disclosed my title to you. I think I have a pretty good idea.

My mother had a very nice saying when it came to making assumptions: "When you
assume you make an *** out of U and ME". I think that it still bares some
significance even now.

As for information: I will agree to one one-hour chat session in the location of
your choosing. Once you decide on the location, I will choose the date and time
of the session. I will answer only questions regarding the case in question.
Nothing about where I work, or what I do, will be provided or asked about in the
session. Nothing about past cases will be provided or asked about in the
session. While I can not guarantee that you will learn anything new from the
session, I can guarantee that I know something that you do not. Sarahs' last
name.


I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

*Kain*


seems sarahs' last name is important........ after the 'whatismylastname'? puzzle? This PM sure does like thy mysetery of last names!

I will be setting up a chat room today, anyone have any questions they want me to ask?

Total Spec (98% Probability To Be Wrong):

Kain's initial email signature: http://yp.lycos.com/?SRC=lycos10

There, it asks for a business category, name, city and state.

I entered:

Category: Security (Also tried Private Investigators, but I don't know exactly what to make of it)

Name: Blank (obviously, the company's name is what this is trying to figure out)

Town: Owensboro (Jack revealed before he lived in Owensboro, Kentucky)

State: Kentucky

---------------------------------------------

It brings up a lot of companies,I'm willing to bet most or all are 100% legit. But it's worth a try.

Still trying to catch up on this thread after the holidays, but I noticed Toronto came a up a couple days ago. I haven't had any direct contact with characters (lurker at heart) and not even sure how to jump into a conversation with them at this point, but I live about a half hour north of the city... if it comes up that someone is needed in the area keep me in mind Smile

I just got caught up myself....I think.....but yeah...do we have any AIM names or any IM names yet? I thought I saw that Kain gave his out when I was skimming through the past few pages trying to catch up, but now I cant find it...maybe I am mistaken?

Okay I just finished chatting to Kevin on msn, his msn name is 'Kevinkain194@hotmail.com'

didn't get much....but could prove usefull:

Quote:
Saraha's last name is Fisher


Her family: Mom, dad, only child. Grew up being raised to be a mother, went to college, met Jason, the rest is history.

So it was not a twin seen in town.

and....

A day or two ago, I inquired about 'researching Sarah and needing a last name', to which Jack Trevor replied (paraphrased) "No problem. I've googled her name many times, but havent found anything besides pages upon pages of info on a race-car driver"

So I googled "Sarah race car driver"

Which gave the answer of 'Fisher'

And, indeed, there are pages upon pages.
