* * *

Peter Wallace, their chef du villa, was waiting for them when they got off the elevator. “Welcome home, sir, miss,” he said. “I’ve placed your guest on the veranda.”

“You’re fired, Mr. Wallace. I want you gone from this property within the hour.”

“Sir?”

“Rule number one: loyalty. Never let someone into your employer’s house without first asking for permission.”

“But, Mr. Hammond, the gentleman has been here quite often over the past year. He spoke of you as an old friend. I only assumed that he was a favored guest.”

Hammond was taken aback. But it explained one thing about Tarasov’s knowledge. He’d installed bugs in the villa.

“I’m so sorry, sir. It definitely was my mistake. I’ll just get my things and be gone.”

“Wait,” Hammond said. “I didn’t realize who you let in, and you were absolutely right to do so. You made no mistake, I did. I can only offer you my apology and ask you to remain as chief of my house staff.”

Peter nodded. “Your apology is accepted, Mr. Hammond, and I’ll carry on, if I may.”

“Please do.”

“A bottle of Krug is on ice for you and the miss.”
