Until the FBI restarted the investigation of Kongges, he knew his opportunity had arrived.

Leaving the police station, Elvin drove to a corner near White Beach High School, turned off the engine, rolled down the window, and honked the horn, waving at the idle delinquents by the school gates.
The delinquents were grouped in threes and fives, leaning against the wall smoking, occasionally letting out shrill laughs. Seeing the police car stop in front of them, they shoved each other and slowly walked over.
Elvin leaned on the window and asked, "Who knows where Victor is? The Asian kid from your school.
Anyone who can provide a clue, I'll pay a hundred dollars." He took a bill from his pocket and waved it between his fingers.
The delinquents' eyes immediately lit up but soon dimmed. They looked at each other, no one daring to speak.
A tall, thin boy scratched his head and said in a low voice, "We don't know where he is. That Asian kid never interacts with us."
