Example:
Chris presented himself as a CIA agent. Sure thing, with a job like that, he couldn’t show his face or tell his real name. He would only communicate through emails with the Potter family from Tennessee.
Chris maintains that their daughter, Jenelle, is in grave danger: two people are hunting for her. So, Janelle’s father was forced to find the “dangerous couple” and to annihilate them.
