Thank you so much for your comment! Please, don't worry about it being too long. I don't think any author will object to getting a long comment. :)

I... I didn't want to make either Alfred or Arthur a monster in this, just misinformed, impulsive and very, very unlucky.

To answer the questions: I didn't have an exact spot, but I was thinking more Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore... A place a businessman like Arthur would go. Also, for the number, if it was on Arthur's private cellphone, it's unlikely anyone would go snooping through it, and I figure Arthur never mentioned it. I kind of put Arthur's dad as a stereotypical businessman, who has a new wife every few years.

I'm confident in the other anon's sequel. She's a fantastic writer, and it'll be great to see what direction she takes it in. She said it might be a bit, though. If she doesn't, I'll definitely link it here. :D

_{The more I think about it, the more I want to do a sequel, too. Not instead of the other anon, of course not, but I think it would be interesting to see how we each write our Alfred's recovery.}
