“What do you mean, he’s gone?” Odin Titan barked into the phone. It was just after 11:00 PM in Las Vegas, and after he’d been unable to reach his brother, Canaan, on the phone, he called Duncan Gilchrist.

The auction was set to reconvene in just under an hour, and Odin needed to touch base with his proxy in Austria to go over the game plan.

“Odin, I was supposed to meet Canaan for breakfast this morning, but he didn’t show,” Duncan explained. “He was with a woman last night, so I figured he was sleeping in this morning and he wanted to skip breakfast, you know?”

“A woman? What the fuck. Come on, Canaan!” Odin was furious. “Okay, so he missed breakfast, what about after that?”

“I called him again, then I went to his room. I had hotel security open it. He hadn’t been there since turndown was performed by housekeeping. His bed wasn’t slept in or, well, nobody used the bed. He’s gone. Just gone. It gets worse, Odin.”

“How?”

“I can’t contact Raven, either. I wanted her to go over the hotel’s security feed, but she’s gone dark. Nothing.”

Odin staggered back and fell onto his sofa. “Shit. I don’t know. The woman, who was the woman?” Odin opened his laptop and fired off a message to Atlas and one to Nolan Weston.

He needed help, fast.

“She was at the auction,” Duncan said. “Redhead. Didn’t catch her name, she was a knockout. They left together.”

“Of course they did,” Odin said. “This whole fucking thing was a setup. It didn’t smell right from the minute I heard about it.”

“Should I notify local police?” Duncan asked.

“Sit tight. I have to think…” A balloon popped up on Odin’s screen; Atlas indicating he’d be right over. “No, no police, they wouldn’t have a clue anyway. Richard Hunt is in Salzburg. Matthias lives near Munich, if he’s not on assignment he may be our best bet. Just get to the auction and follow the plan. We’ll work Canaan and Raven from this end. You focus on the Gutenberg. Updates every thirty minutes, even if there’s nothing to update. Understood?”

“Yes, sir,” Gilchrist responded.

Odin dialed Raven’s number, but the call went directly to voicemail. He tried Matthias, but received the same response. Likewise, Nolan Weston didn’t answer. Finally, he called Canaan, hoping for some sort of misunderstanding.

Canaan had always been a free spirit, but this didn’t feel like that.

Nothing.

Atlas called Odin during his short drive, and Odin filled him in. As he hit valet parking at Arroyo Place, he made an attempt to reach Nolan Weston, to no avail. He then moved through his mental rolodex to Annalise Rubidoux, but got no response from her, either.

Atlas felt sick. Ever since the events at the safe house in Las Vegas and the ambush in Milan that nearly cost him his life, he’d been completely retired from the 007 world that had put his family in such danger. He’d devoted himself entirely to little Lea and beautiful Piper, concentrating on being the best husband and father he could be, all while trying to double the size of his brood.
