Ryder didn't open his mouth, and he didn't reply.
"Answer me," Ray let out again.
"Yes, I know him," Ryder answered as he told the truth.
"How do you know him?" Ray further inquired as he smiled. He believed that he was getting close to the truth since Ryder had already accepted knowing Pasher.
" The building you saw me coming out of is something that I own, as I already told you. It belonged to someone called Stanner Stan before. I did a search on the net and found the son of Stanner Stan," Ryder replied.
Ray looked towards the screen of the machine and nodded his head.
"Alright. Did you meet Pasher Stan today?" Ray asked again.
Ryder was trying to find his way through without lying by trying to tell the vague truth, but there was no way around it anymore. He knew that even if he escaped one question, he wasn't able to escape by being vague for a long time. He needed to fool the lie detector test to be successful.
