Chapter 20

The couple walked away from the five Americans saying little. Once they were two blocks away and assured they couldn’t be heard by anyone, they spoke in a language other than English.

“In my years of doing recovery work, that was the strangest interaction with someone I’ve been following,” the man said.

“I wonder why they wanted our picture since I’m sure they got it?” the woman questioned.

“Normally I would say they took the picture so they could identify us, but they’re tourists; how would they have access to any databases that have our information in them?”

“True, but the one woman is listed as a private investigator in the United States, so she probably knows something about how to identify us.”

“Yes, but our cover is solid, so even if she identifies us German citizens, she won’t have much more than that since we’re schoolteachers from Berlin.”

“Didn’t you say that one of the group was a photographer? Was she the one that took our picture? What do we know about the man in that group?”

“He just appeared in Edinburgh and judging from his body language, he’s connected to the woman that’s the private investigator,” the man said.

“Let’s identify him when we get back to our hotel. I wonder how they know Nick? They seem so American.”

“Nick said he was meeting some friends in Wales and we just assumed they were Dutch friends, but maybe it was these Americans. Certainly, someone brought them into this situation. I wish we hadn’t missed those first few hours after his death; then this whole situation might make more sense.”

“He suspected that someone from his group was following him; he was fearful that there were agents unhappy with dissolving the group which he was the most vocal supporter of dissolution.”

“What do we want from these Americans?” the man asked. “Do we think that Nick passed on information to them before his death?”

"I don't know; after all, we don't even know what stolen item he came across. All we know was he wanted to meet us shortly after someone shoved him out a castle window, and it was expected to be a short meeting - he said ten minutes."
