Claire took moment before responding, her voice carrying a weight of worry. "I'm fine, Matthew It's just- I can't help but think the person who send Dmitri have anything to do with Allan, the drunk driver that case the accident three years ago." Matthee nodded understandingly "You mean it could be the same person who hired them?"

Claire nodded in agreement. "Yes, exactly. I think they are connected in someways."

Matthew furrowed his brow, mind racing to grasp the situation. "It could be, but the more important thing is that someone is clearly targeting you. Claire: This incident with Dit isn't just a coincidence."

Claire's eyes owed indetermination, "I know. And I have a strong feeling it's somes within our ranks."

"Do you have any suspicions?"

"There's Robert, for sure. And perhaps Lisa" she added, her tone uncertain about Lisa's involvement.

Claire think over his words. After a moment she shook her head. "Yes, Tunderstand but I don't think there's someone who wants to get rid of me more than Robert. Three years ago, he was the one who planned that accident. I lost my parents; I lost my memories and I even lost Metacortex to him."

Matthew nodded solemnly, recalling the past events that had put Claire in jeopardy. "Yeah, maybe you're right. Robert seems to have everything planned out."

"The problem is, even if it's Robert who hire Dmitri, can't accuse him without enough evidence."

Claire drummed her fingers on her desk. "I need you to check on Dmitri. Keep me uplate with his location."

Matthew nodded. "You got it Claire."
