CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Oliver walked across to stare out the window. For several minutes a heavy silence hung in the air, then turning around he began to speak.

"We talked about a distraction so I could get into Victor's suite. That's how we get out."

"I was just thinking the same thing," Andy said, "but why don't you do both?"

"Unfortunately there's no point in me getting to the relic tonight."

"Why not?" Natalie asked. "Isn't that the whole point?"

"There's a copy being delivered to the house tomorrow morning. My plan was to switch them."

"You didn't tell me."

"We had that conversation, remember? What you don't know can't hurt you."

"Oh, right."

"It has a tracking device. We need to find Victor's vault and we're convinced he's going to hijack the artifact for himself and take it there."

"I know where the vault is," Andy piped up. "He has a house in the country about ninety-minutes out of London. The vault is somewhere on the estate."

"That's great information, but the copy would lead us directly to it."

"Hold on," Andy said, abruptly rising to his feet and hurrying to open a box against the wall. "Problem solved! This tracker is state of the art," he declared, pulling out a small package still wrapped in shrink wrap. "It's tiny. You can put it in a corner of the crate."

"You are unbelievable," Oliver said gratefully, taking the box and tearing it open. "I know exactly what this is, and you're right. It's the best money can buy."

"It has a brother," Andy continued. "This micro camera. You can put that in too if you want. It picks up audio so you may as well. Oliver, I really think you should go into Victor's suite tonight. For starters, Xavier is sedated. You won't have to worry about him."

"And Victor is on edge," Oliver said thoughtfully. "He's likely to respond to the alarm going off in the exhibition. He set that whole thing up as a lure to pull me in. Right! Decision made. We're going for it."

"How will we do this?" Natalie asked. "Once Victor's gone we still have to actually get there."

"Natalie, I'm going into that suite by myself. I don't want you anywhere near it."

"Um…actually," Andy said hesitantly, "it would be better if you stuck together. It will be easier to get you out if I don't have to reunite you somewhere. Being separated doubles the chances of one of you being caught, and I can't stay in this room much longer. Remember, Victor's crew is next door. I don't think coming back here is an option."

"I hate to say it, but you're right," Oliver muttered. "Natalie, are you up to this?" he asked, sitting down next to her. "Now is the time to tell me if you have any reservations."

"Are you kidding? Don't shoot me but I love this stuff."

"What am I going to do with you?" he grinned, shaking his head. "Remember, do what I say when I say it."

"You don't have to worry. You're the pro."

"Andy, Leo will be getting you out of here.
