The furniture in the library of the former Letterford residence had been pushed to the side of the room. A large Smart Board on an aluminum stand now dominated the space. A series of cables and wires ran from the back of the board into the adjoining hallway. A slight humming emanated from the board.

To the side of the Smart Board and sitting on a metal tripod was the portrait of Miles Letterford. Two sets of studio lights had been set up in front of the painting.

Treemont approached the board and tapped the bottom left-hand corner. A series of photographs immediately appeared on the board. Treemont touched one of the photographs and moved it to the middle of the board. He tapped the photograph twice, and it expanded to fill the screen. He then turned to face the man and the woman who stood behind him.

He pointed at the photograph. “I need to know everything there is to know about this object.” He gestured at a stack of boxes in the corner of the room. “Everything you need to know about Miles Letterford is in those boxes.” He pointed to the books on the shelves. “Every book that Miles Letterford ever published is in this room. Some are well over four hundred years old. Many cannot be replaced. Tear them apart if you must.”

Finally he pointed to the portrait of Miles Letterford. “I know he has more secrets to tell. I want to know what they are.”

The man and the woman nodded. They knew they had a lot of work to do.
