Star:Remember I told you that I promised to reunite every trafficking victim of the Sparrows with their families?
Conor:I do. You rammed the memory home with the image of making the head of the CIA suck off his own dick-less stump. Lol.
Star:I do these things to train your memory.
Conor:So kind. The nightmares were just for shits and giggles?
Star:You got it.
Conor:What about the reunions? That’s a hell of a process in itself.
Star:I know. But I was thinking… I found Katina because I was tracking a cargo ship. The Sparrows had a manifesto of women on board. If they did that for one shipment, surely they did it for others.
Conor:Makes sense. How did you come across the manifesto?
Star:More by luck than management.
Conor:How?
Star:It was a listing on the Silk Road.
Conor:You bought it?
Star:Yeah.
Conor:Who was the seller?
Star:Just some kid who’d hacked a phone and was selling on someone’s ID.
Conor:Did you buy anything else from the same seller?
Star:I bought a username and password for an email account, but it wasn’t an easily recognizable email service and it definitely didn’t work with POP or IMAP protocols.
Conor:So, it led nowhere?
Star:The email was a dead end, but I figured it was because the information was five years old. The cargo ship manifesto led me to Katina, though.
Conor:How?
Star:Her mom was on there. When I found her, she’d already been sold, wedded, impregnated, and had died. Katina was in an orphanage by that point.
Conor:And you rode in and saved her.
Star:Sometimes I think she saved me.
Conor:Did the Sparrows deal in Baltic brides?
Star:No. Sex slaves.
Conor:So why did they sell her then? How do you know there was a sale? Did you find a payment trail?
Star:No. I guess I just assumed. Back then I didn’t know as much about their activities. Plus, Alessa… You know her, right?
Conor:Katina’s sister, of course. Another Sparrows’ victim. :(
Star:Yeah. :/ She confirmed that was what her mom intended. She sent money back home too.
Conor:Doubt the Sparrows gave her anything from that transaction.
