Chapter Sixteen: The Traitor At Work

The most trusted of High Curator Porcero’s agents had just finished sending lesser agents to watch the Sealed Library. There was still no word on Trainee Seyan, but there was a report that several items that could be used to pick locks were missing from one of the tool rooms. That, plus a cryptic note on the desk of the Grand High Curator which read “Walk at midnight. Smell flowers”, told the agent that Master Porcero was indeed on the right track about what the Grand High Curator was up to with his little burglar.

The agent paused to think of all that had been accomplished right here, under the very nose of that doddering old fool. Enough had been learned over the years that the agent could, and most likely would, run the Museum once Master Porcero was triumphant. Things would be very different around here when that day came.
