Hotel Lus Tilos

Scott waited for Stephen’s return. He planned to question the man in detail about his involvement in this whole affair. Stephen’s answers so far had only scratched the surface as far as Scott could determine. Scott wanted to learn more about this man who dropped into his life, almost taking control.

Scott needed to save his sister and he wanted to be the one in charge. Stephen’s help proved valuable so far but the questions his assistance raised needed answering. Why was he here? What did he know about the transcripts? What was he after personally? All plagued Scott’s thoughts. He wanted answers, but they might have to wait until they found his sister.

A knock at the door startled Scott.

On the table, the code from the monastery lay in front of him as he had tried to relax his mind. The numbers and letters might make sense if he didn’t try to strain to unravel the meaning. The purported fact the real Crown of Thorns and the staff of St. Peter were among the priceless objects purported to be in the treasure did more than boggle his mind. The whole idea overpowered his reason and stymied his thoughts as this existed beyond the wildest imagination of a young college professor.

If Bridget were here, she would solve the code in short order. He realized that this secret message was not a chess game, and not a simple, easy to solve, code.

Another knock.

“Coming.” Scott opened the door and found Stephen outside.

“We need to go right now. I think I know where she is,” Stephen said.

“Where?”

“Not now. Time to go. I’ll tell you on the way.”

Scott grabbed his backpack, took the code from the table, and rushed after Jonathan already going down the steps. “Where are we going?”

“Father Castile got some information from his police friends. There is a house that they watch from time to time. He said it might be worth checking out.”

“Wait a minute, Stephen. If they kidnapped Bridget, we should get the police. It’s almost noon.”

“This is Spain. Not London or New York. By the time the police reacted, the entire city would know about it in advance. We go on our own to check it out first.”

Scott jogged to keep up with Stephen. Even with his slight limp he moved like a charging lion. Scott tried to flip away the sweat with his hand. “How far do we have to go?”

“Another block.”

Stephen took out a gun, check it, and return it to his belt.

The thought of more shooting, after the near misses last night, worried Scott. “Do you have to take that thing?

“There might will be more of them than there is of us. We’ll need help if Bridget is in this house.”

“Then it’s even more important to get the police involved.”

“This is just a reconnaissance. If we need help we’ll call for it.” Stephen stopped and looked around the corner. “Empty street. Let’s get closer. Come on.”

Scott hurried around the corner passing by Stephen.

When he saw someone come out of the house, Scott stopped.
