"What method are you talking about?" Chief Choi Go-Yoon asked.
I answered, "Would it be possible to make a quick call to Lackey hyung-nim?"
"Lackey? You mean the waiter from Club JJ?"
"Yes."
Choi Go-Yoon tilted his head. "It's only about 3 o'clock. Will he even pick up? Waiters usually work the evening shift, don't they?"
