One week.
According to the documents we took and the USB that Jamie spent last night decrypting, Gabriella leaves London in a week.
She could be one of two possible shipments, two days apart. The planned ritual will happen on or before one of these dates.
The paperwork we stole reveals mostly cryptic information but also some things of significance. The names of those involved with Zenith Global Exports are coded apart from the company directorâCallum Dufour and his secretary Emmett Roberts, who we've already identified as part of this dragon's mafia circle.
The manifests' dates are readable, as are the exports' names, but mixtures of letters and numbers create a code for the precise contents of each shipment. The sums of money involved run into tens of thousands of pounds, which seems excessive for items such as AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY. Two booked shipments stand out as they're hundreds of thousands, and differ to the last year's regular cargo. Innocuously named RAW EXOTICS, one's headed to New York and the other to Rotterdam.
Gabriella on one and the other as a false lead?
We're leaning towards Rotterdamâshorter trip, less chance things could go wrong. Gabriella heading to Europe makes the most sense. Andrei jokes she can revisit her ancestral home and add some realism to Dracula toursâmore of his joking to hide his stress. The woman is more likely to bury herself inside Eastern Europe or further afield, where the largest supernatural network still exists after hundreds of years.
We need to divert our attention away from the dragons for now if we want to find information about the ritual Gabriella's planning. She's working with the top echelon of the dragon mafia, but I doubt the lower tiered members have any involvement. We've proved that dragons are helpingâwhat is Gabriella promising them in return? Because I'm betting it's more than money.
Most addresses connected to the Xenith Exports are office locations in London, New York, Paris, and Singapore. No mention of storage locations apart from the shipping containers at the docks.
Our confrontation with Gabriella will happen in this country, but there're dozens of industrial areas in London where the building in my vision could be located. Jamie suggests that if the dragons use buildings for storing illegal items when transporting to the docks, they must keep them near the port.
Nobody mentions that the place could be the one I saw.
Hopefully that narrows down our searchâbut what are we searching for? Is Gabriella at one of these locations? Wherever she currently lurks, Gabriella will need trusted guards or risk an attack that could expose her to the day. Dominion witches must have her behind wards somewhere, and I can't imagine Gabriella skulking in the grotty place that I saw.
Or is that the pointâwe won't expect her to?
Following the attack on Amelia, Matt's keen to move away from anyone who might followâAlaric or Dominion. The pair agree to pass on all information they've gathered about Gabriella, but then they're isolating themselves again. Alaric never pursues those who leave his group unless he feels they're corrupted in some way; he'll leave Matt and Amelia alone.
