Cynthia: Patruus, Pergo

I have considered the matter further, and based on Leonard's immediate and enthusiastic response to my request for aid, I am extending him an invitation to join us. Since he and Scott first connected a decade ago he has treated my family with tremendous warmth and generosity, and I am certain that he will be an extremely valuable ally. I am sending him the encryption key now, so he should be fully versed in our situation by the time his flight touches down.

I have just spoken at some length with Doctor Yoshida, and have determined that he will receive the encryption key allowing him access to this journal of events. In my mind there is no doubt that his father's killer and my attacker are one and the same.

I cannot, in good conscience, withhold from the Doctor the facts we have gleaned thus far. I cannot claim that I do not have some misgivings, and my preference would certainly be to make our acquaintance in person beforehand, but circumstances simply will not permit. Regardless, please welcome Doctor Kisho Yoshida.

Cynthia: Conduco

I have made my hire. Mary Stroud of Madison, Wisconsin has been a private investigator for eight years. Her record is impeccable and she is prepared to move to Milwaukee on a full-time basis. I have every confidence in this young woman, and have given her the code that will allow her to access this site. I shall allow her to introduce herself further with her first post.

I decided against hiring two investigators concurrently for fear they would "muddy the waters" for one another. Best, I believe, to singularly focus our efforts at this juncture.
