Chapter Twelve

THEY ENTERED THE ROOM where Charvet had been moved to. It was a well-kept room in the corner of the mansion’s first floor. It was so tidy and perfect it was boring. But the reason for that was so he couldn’t identify it and give away the location. For all Charvet knew, the waves crashing outside were off the coast of Ireland.

Michael walked in directly behind George. Charvet looked dazed, hungover perhaps. He looked at Michael. After the broadcast from the jungle, Michael was easily recognisable.

‘The famous guy who shut down satellites.’ Charvet laughed. ‘I’m in awe,’ he said sarcastically. ‘What a hero.’ He spoke in English.

‘You don’t know the half of it, President,’ Michael responded in French. ‘All I can say is sorry. Sorry for all of this. Sorry this happened to you.’

‘What do you know about Mancini Corporation?’ Sofia asked in French. Michael translated for the rest of the group. ‘They are dangerous, for all of us. And the precious fragment that Pietro Mancini sold to the French King in 1665 needs to come with us. Now!’

‘Mancini Corporation introduced themselves at the recent UN meeting in Austria. They believe they have discovered a new form of energy. Something that will help our planet more than any form of nuclear or renewable energy.’ He laughed. ‘They made it very believable. We all laughed at the beginning of the meeting, but they eventually began to convince us.’

‘Yeah, probably after drinking something,’ Mohammad mumbled.

‘Man, all of you world leaders have got us into some mess!’ Eduardo said. ‘You’ve made a mess.’

‘And now we,’ Carolina said, looking around at everyone. ‘We have to fix it.’

‘The beautiful Ms Couture has been asking me where this old stone is and-’

‘Did you tell her?’ Scarlett shouted.

‘Of course,’ Charvet laughed. ‘They’re wasting their time. It’s useless. But Ms Couture believes this piece of stone was taken from this so called source of energy and wants to check it.’

‘Where is it?’ Michael asked, clinching his jaws.

‘It’s in Marseille.’ Charvet looked at Michael with narrowed eyes. ‘So, one minute you’re hijacking satellites and now you’re committing theft? Your parents must be so proud of-’

‘You mention them again and I’ll throw you through that wall,’ Michael shouted, this time in Irish, with only Sofia understanding what he said. But Charvet and the group got the meaning to what he was saying.

‘Easy, bro. Come on, amigo,’ Eduardo said, tapping Michael softly on the shoulder.

‘Okay, where in Marseille is the fragment?’ Scarlett asked, sitting down next to Charvet, crossing her arms and legs.

‘It’s at La Vieille Charité, and I’m going to have it examined, along with the beautiful Couture tomorrow. But I-’ He sniggered to himself. ‘I know the value of it, it's useless.’

‘I wish you were right,’ Ajit said. ‘Our lives would all be much simpler if you were.’

‘Okay. I’m growing tired of this whole act.’ Marcel shouted. ‘Quit playing games. It’s important that we get our hands on it. Before Couture gets it. You know why. Stop acting stupid.
