Jack could tell that Monsieur Dupré was a bit sensitive – after all, by now most of the world was blaming his firm for not taking better care of the Mona Lisa. But Jack needed to speak to Monsieur Dupré’s security officers to find out if they knew or had seen anything. He wasn’t about to give up now just because the boss was having a tantrum.

“I’m not suggesting that your firm doesn’t have a good reputation,” Jack said soothingly. “It’s just that it might be helpful to speak to the officer who was on duty last night.”

“He’s unavailable,” bristled Monsieur Dupré. “He was questioned so much last night that I gave him the day off.”

“Well unfortunately I still need to speak to him today,” said Jack. “Can you ask him to call me as soon as he can? He can reach me through Chief Inspector Pierre’s office. I’m sure you understand how important it is to solve this crime as quickly as possible.”

“Yes. Well, OK,” said Monsieur Dupré, settling down.

“Thanks for your time,” said Jack as he walked towards the double doors. Just as he was leaving the room, something caught his eye. A row of photographs hung on the wall and in one of them there was a man with bright red hair.

That’s an odd coincidence, thought Jack. Thoughts started to pop into his head. “Excuse me,” he said to Monsieur Dupré, pointing to the red-haired man, “what is his name?”

“That’s Carl Ponte,” said Monsieur Dupré, clearing his throat.

“Was he working at the Louvre last night?” Jack asked.

“As a matter of fact,” said Monsieur Dupré, “he was. He was guarding the Ancient Egypt room. Carl’s an excellent security guard,” he added. “He’s newly qualified and a specialist in surveillance. He’s over at the Musée d’Orsay right now. They’ve asked him to take a look at their systems in light of what happened last night.”
