Bigend tells Hollis that Bobby Chombo is "being paid handsomely to keep (the location of the shipping container) a secret, and his personality is such, as you’ve noted, that he likes having a secret."Bigend believes that Hollis’ celebrity makes her "the person... whom Bobby is most likely to talk to."
