Two days later, Regina sent them a message.
A Delamain Taxi stopped in front of a run-down building in the Kabuki District of the Watson District.
Jack glanced out the window.
"What did Regina say? Did she say Hanks was here?"
"No." Su Xiao shook his head. "Regina said there's a company here that keeps recruiting workers from outside."
