After the detectives visit Janet's home, they learn that she worked as a pole dancer at the Hot Pinky strip club.
A dancer at the strip club informs Millie that Janet was sleeping with the club's owner, Freddie Summerville. Freddie belonged to a rich family and had a reputation for dating underaged ghetto girls.

Millie receives a tip from Alicia Bonnett, manager of Hot Pinky, about Freddie's last location. Alicia reveals that she got the information from one of her associates, who followed Corsica. The latter is a former prisoner who served jail time in the UK and returned to Kingston to apparently kill Freddie and Janet.
Millie and Curtis head to Freddie's property, Luke Crescent, to confront him about Janet. Once inside, Millie finds Janet but there is no indication of Freddie's whereabouts. She informs Millie that Freddie is supposed to come back and take her to England with him.
