4. Who is Sarah's Dad?

Interesting that in the blog 112, Josh states that Sarah didnt know her dad growing up either, but here she says her father works for the unnamed oil company and thats why she cant say the name.. But this implies she does know him.

Many possibilities with this one..

And will we meet Clive as well?

I would guess that she told Josh she didn't know her dad as a way of establishing a common ground between the two of them in order to eventually gain his confidence and extract information from him. She probably had no small role in his getting drunk that night.

unrelated: At the end of post 112 http://www.hooklineandminker.com/?p=112 Josh talks about Clive not knowing his dad either. Ironically Josh thinks he is making that story up and how Sarah probably doesn't believe him either. This may have been the Game Makers way of providing a foreshadowing of Sarah's real deception.

Well, that wa unexpected. The whole office went out for drinks tonight, thanks to Sarah. She's the new supe. We surpassed sales this month so we got to celebrate. Big deal in this climate. I may have had a few too many – these keys are starting to run together on me

But turns out I learned a thing or two by going out for once,. Sarah didn't know her dad growing up, either. We have a lot common. Itswas pretty funny. and Clive scoffed too. his dad was a forest ranger and just never came back one day. I think cive might've made that story up, now that I think about it. probably Sarah didn't by it. OK!! i need to sleep.


Agreed, Sarah seems to have orchestrated the evening out.

Read there a chat transcript between Josh and Sarah.

The hack on HLM has been removed, making things a bit confusing.

She hacked it around 3:40 a.m. EST, by the way. Window was only open for several hours! Nice. Glad I skipped class this morning (don't worry, I'm in college).

Wait...so Sarah is working at Josh's sales office and at a second job with her father?

She took a second job just to gain his confidence? Seems extreme. If all you wanted was some family dirt, a bottle of whiskey and a couple of promising dates will open most guys up.....

Wouldn't it be interesting if Sarah's dad has been doing some checking also, and didn't want to involve her with what he's found or looking for, and what if Sarah's dad is Mysterio?

Boy Josh has really been through it:
Grows up not knowing his father.
His mother dies.
He inherits intel that makes him search for answers.
He hooks up with Mysterio who wants as much from Josh as he can get, but gives very little.
He's working with someone who he finds has lied to him--which brings up an interesting thought--if Sarah still works for the company her father works for, where is she stationed? Is it close enough that she can moonlight as Josh's supervisor? Or did she take a leave of absence, which should have raised red flags at the company if they are as paranoid about their employees as she is about them?
And he still hasn't got his coelacanth. Confused

Trust no one Josh. Crying or Very sad

Sarah "used to" work at the oil company, not anymore, although her father still does.

Hmm...that makes me wonder, do we know how his mother died? Could be (dramatic pause) MURDER?!

So, did Sarah use the name Revalistic to lure Josh in since it has the same letters as Vitas Relic? We know Josh told her everything, so thats how she knew about it I suppose..

I'm excited to see if Sarah knows/learns about Mysterio... Josh did say he was going to trust her. And maybe she'll trust him enough to scan a few of those oh-so-important documents? Say, on an easily accessible blog? Wink
