RUTHERFORD’S HEAD BOBBED as he tried to focus on the stretch of butcher paper that dominated the conference room table in front of him. “You say Henri’s boy drew this?”

“Yes,” Julia said. “He was working on it when I gained entrance to the house.”

“It looks too real to be a drawing.”

“I saw him doing it,” Julia added. “The paper was draped over the dining room table, and he was drawing this with crayons.”

“Remarkable.”

“Eerie is more like it,” Alex said. “That’s the place to a tee.”

“And that is the man you hired?” Rutherford asked.

“That’s how I left him, face down in the pit.”

“Why the . . . ,” Rutherford began. “Is that a trowel?”

“Yes, sir,” Alex said. “My goal was to disrupt the dig until we could formulate a plan to gain the prize.”

“And the trowel was used to implicate Sachs?”

“Exactly.”

“How is it a retarded man can know what you’ve done hundreds of miles away?” Julia asked.

Alex shrugged. “I have no idea.”

“Move the drawing and let me see the survey images,” Rutherford demanded. Alex stepped to the table and rearranged the documents so his boss could see them. “I see six objects laid in two lines of three.”

“This one,” Alex said, pointing at the most southwesterly object, “is the grave they opened; the one with the Roman soldier in it.”

“And you saw that with your own eyes?”

“I did. The remains are not fully visible. Only one plank has been removed. They probably stopped at that point to protect the find.”

“The larger object to the north,” Rutherford asked, “that’s what we’re looking for?”

“Yes.”

“It’s ill-defined,” he blurted.

“They may have reached the limits of the ground penetrating radar,” Alex said.

“Perhaps, but we can still determine that it’s man-made and not a natural formation. I see no reason to doubt the find. What remains is getting the contents out and back here.”

“That may be difficult,” Alex said. “It’s become a media circus there. Newspapers are picking up the story, as is the electronic media.”

“It’s too bad word got out,” Rutherford said. “Had Sachs been able to work unmolested and in secrecy, our job would be easier. We could’ve let him do all the work.”

“The newspapers changed the situation,” Alex admitted. “That’s why I felt the need to slow things down. Beside, Dawes knew too much. I doubt he could’ve traced things back since I was meticulous about concealing my connection with you, but I wanted to be certain. He won’t be talking now.”

“We still have a big problem,” Julia added. “Whenever they pull the contents out, the media is going to be there.”

“We have to play our ace in the hole,” Alex suggested.

“Yes,” Rutherford agreed. “I want our two guests brought here. I want to see this prodigy for myself.”

“Is that wise?” Julia asked.

“Of course it is,” Rutherford snapped. “I wouldn’t have suggested it if it weren’t. They can’t know where they are, so keep them confused. Julia, your job is to bring them here. Alex, I want you to set up a room where they can be comfortable.
