Chapter twelve

Rhett

There are a lot of things I appreciate about Finn. The man has never been late a day in his life, he’s not one to pry into personal matters without an invitation, and he’s always there when we need him. Not to mention, he has a wide skill set and access to a large number of resources that are incredibly useful.

But today, all those things pale in comparison to his dedication to making sure Wren is as ready as possible for the wedding. When it comes to protecting the people we love, Finn knows no limits. He may not know Wren well yet, but he understands that she’s part of our family. His loyalty to us extends to her.

“It’s fairly simple to use,” Finn explains as he holds the safe cracking device up for Wren to see. Then he fits it over the dial on the safe I bought so she could practice. “It goes on like this. The only logical way to place it, really, so it should be easy to remember. It has magnets on it to latch it to the safe. You don’t have to hold it the entire time, and it’ll turn on its own once you get it going.”

“Got it.” Wren takes the device when Finn hands it to her and places it over the dial the way he did. “Seems fairly simple.”

He shows her how to turn it on before pulling her back a step or two. “You’ll want to be sure not to bump the safe while you’re using it. It works by detecting the click of each pin coming into place, so any large vibrations could throw it off.”

“No large vibrations.” Wren frowns. “What about the music from the reception? Will that be a problem?”

Turning to the coffee table, Finn scans the blueprints of Ludo’s mansion. He points to the ballroom on the first floor. “This is where everyone will be?”

“Yes.” Wren spins the blueprint of the second floor around so Finn can look at it properly. “And this is where Ludo’s billiard room is.”

Finn narrows his eyes as he does some mental calculations. He runs a hand through his dark hair, and I’m worried it’s going to be a problem, but then he says, “Considering the distance between them, you should be fine. Just don’t jump around while you’re waiting for it.”

Wren laughs. “I don’t think jumping around would’ve even crossed my mind, but good to know.”

The cracker takes a couple minutes, and then we hear a loud click. Finn gestures to it, and Wren takes the device off before opening the safe.

“Perfect,” Finn says. “From here, what happens?”

“I take the hard drive and the cracker and put them both in Aubrey’s makeup bag, close the safe, put the painting back in place, and get the hell out of there.”

Elliot has been standing silently by the fireplace, but now he cuts in. “Aubrey said that the painting seemed to be on hinges. My guess is there are magnets installed in the wall and on the back of the painting.
