As Chyna launched the Jaguar down the M3 roadway, she had several questions going through her mind about the case. Normally, she would have stewed them over silently as she drove, but having Oscar with her meant that she needed to augment his education as an investigator. After expressing to him her relief at finally being involved in a case that didn’t seem to need the assistance of the FBI or military operatives, she spent the next hour discussing her concerns with him.

There were a lot of obvious concerns and they were consistently boring holes in the various arguments either of them could come up with to lead them in the right direction to figuring out what happened to the suit of armor. It was obvious that it had been taken when the furnishings were removed from the bunker after the renovations were complete. But then the questions were; by whom? When? And of course, How?

Almost instantly, Oscar realized that the first wave of questions had a habit of breeding the second; which tended to be more in number than the first wave and much deeper as well. Next, Chyna had them wondering; who had access to the property? What was security like on the estate during the renovations? Why was Angus moved out? Who had done the actual moving?

It took them forty-five minutes to get to Timberley and maybe five minutes to find the cozy-looking duplex on Cockatiel Road. Every one of the houses on the street looked exactly the same, so Oscar had to check the house numbers which, luckily for them, were prominently written on each mailbox. Chyna parked the car across the street from the house and they walked up and rang the doorbell.

Marion Spencer answered the door with a big smile on her face.

“Chyna Stone?” she asked confidently, as if they had met before.

“Yes. This is my colleague, Oscar Cunningham. We’d like to ask you a few questions about Dordogne Estate, particularly about what happened during the renovations in 1978.”

“Yes, Angus told me to expect you. Please come in. I just put the kettle on.”

“Thank you.”

Chyna and Oscar stepped into the house. It was warm and just as cozy inside as it had seemed from the outside. Marion led them into a living room, or the front room as she called it, and invited them to sit. She disappeared into what Chyna assumed was the kitchen and soon reappeared with a lovely silver tray piled with all her tea things. Marion poured tea for each and invited them to help themselves to the milk and sugar as well as the sandwiches and biscuits she had brought out with it.

The marvels of modern technology, Chyna thought. Because of a simple telephone call from Angus, Marion had had the better part of an hour to prepare a lovely repast for them while they had been driving toward her house.

“Angus says that Sir Robert has hired you to find out what happened to Eleanor of Aquitaine’s armor and possibly find it.
