"I pretended to be betrayed by Colby after Odie tookto the Minton family, gaining Odie's trust. From him, I got a list of names and discovered that the third floor of Minton Casino is a front for prostitution and possibly drug trafficking." While speaking, Sophie grabbed a pen and paper from the table and started jotting down all the names she had memorized from her tat the Minton family, along with a rough sketch of the third floor of the casino.
