Chapter 51

Trenchard approached the Greenfinder residence under the cover of darkness. The family was away for a camping weekend, so the coast was clear. Every window and door were alarmed, so he drilled a hole through the roof and dropped into the attic. Finding the ladder, he made his way towards the main bedroom and office.

As he had hoped, the safe was a standard wall model. He hooked up the explosive charge and detonator, blew it open, and scooped out the contents. He made a quick search for electronic media, packed everything in a large bag, and made his way out the same way he got in.

Simon was happy to receive him.

“Good job,” said Simon as he sifted through the contents.

“Professional people give solid results.”

“I see you included the electronics.”

“As instructed by Arthur. Has that changed?”

“No, we will continue to accept them.”

“Do you have another assignment for me?”

“Not yet. The organization is busy with other priority matters. I will be in touch. Be patient.”

“Understood.”
