Why did she get a message all of a sudden? Janet was in a state of confusion. It dawned on her then that she was using Charis's account. It was plausible that the dealer wasn't aware of Charis's death.
She hurriedly typed back, "You sold me some drugs last time." Since the dealer didn't know who Charis was, Janet thought she could pretend to be her. Perhaps, she would find out something useful.
The response came quickly. "You want more?"
"Yes, I do want more. The drug that makes people lose their memory. Sell that to me again." Janet wanted to have Frank examine the substance of the drug, and that's why she wanted to buy it. They would be able to restore Brandon's memory if they could figure it out what he had taken.
Unfortunately, a while passed and there was no response from the dealer. Janet waited for a long time. Just as she was about to lose hope, a message came up in the chat box. "You're not scared of being haunted by her ghost?"
Janet was shocked. The dealer was aware Charis was dead! Transactions on the dark web were expected to be confidential, the buyer and seller were not to know each other's identity. Who was this mysterious dealer exactly? How did this person know Charis Turner was the buyer? Was he... Was he nearby watching everything?
Her mind was jumbled up and filled with questions. However, she had no time to think. Right in front of her, she had the hope of restoring Brandon's lost memory. She would never let go of this opportunity, even if she had to make a deal with the devil.
Janet calmly responded, "You don't need to know who I am. How much is the drug? Name the price. I can pay for it."
The mysterious seller responded quickly again, "You are so bold, missy. Are you aware of who you're dealing with?"
A frown formed on Janet's face. The seller was not so simple, she could tell. While she was deliberating on how to respond, the mysterious dealer went offline all of a sudden.
Janet hurriedly typed, "I'm ready to pay no matter the cost!" However, there was no more response from the seller. She clicked on the seller's account page, and there was a blank, showing the account had been cancelled.
