Braden felt much better after a long, hot shower. A tray of food sat on the table just inside the door. He hadn’t realized how hungry he was until he caught the scent of curry. The spices were perfect, and he knew the cheap American version would never be enough for him again.

He pulled out his tablet he’d kept hidden in his backpack and typed in his password. Several emails pulled up with location possibilities. They apparently had no clue where it was.

His phone rang. “Hey, Stephen. Have any information for me?”

“Where’d you go? My men couldn’t find you at the pickup location.” Stephen’s voice boomed through the phone.

“We were ambushed and had to take off in the closest taxi.” Braden’s eye caught a discrepancy in the map. He zoomed in. There weren’t any towns nearby, but there were mountains. “Hey, what do you know about the mountains in Thailand? Are there caves?”

“Don’t think you’re getting out of trouble, but yes. They’re well known for their caves. Why?”

Braden took a screenshot of his computer and emailed a copy to Stephen. “Check this out and tell me if you see what I’m seeing.”

There was a pause while he waited for Stephen to get back to him. Braden smiled at the sharp intake of breath.

“Looks like you’re right. I’d head there before anyone else can. I’ll check out those other spots on the map.”

“Perfect. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” Braden hung up before Stephen could give him another warning to ditch Carlie. He already knew his bosses were ready to fire him because of it.

Braden closed his tablet and opened the door to go find Carlie. Her room was empty. The thought she could have left him crossed his mind, but she wouldn’t just ditch him at a friend’s house, right?

Voices came from a room down the hallway. Braden crept along the wall, making sure they wouldn’t hear him. It was Carlie, Chet and someone else that sounded vaguely familiar.

“And you’re sure it’s located there?” Carlie asked.

“We believe so, yes. But not for long. They’ll sell it to the highest bidder next week.”

Braden poked his head around the corner. The three of them stood around a table looking at a map. The other person he’d heard was the driver that had brought them here.

The others looked up when he came into the room. Carlie smiled, her face reddening. “Oh, hey, you’re awake. We think we know where the necklace is.”

Braden hesitated before approaching the table. Just by being here he was betraying his team. But collecting information was important, right? “I looked over the maps I had and wondered about the mountains up north.”

Chet shook his head. “No, those have been searched. See this temple here? It’s been abandoned. They’d planned to renovate it years ago but ran out of money. We believe that’s where the necklace is. I assume you heard the rest.”

“I did. And you’re sure?”

Carlie picked up a paper and handed it to him. “Frank got this letter inviting him to the auction.
