Chapter 4 - The Microfilm in the Silver Heart
By midnight, the black SUV pulled into the secure subterranean garage of the Castellano estate. William carried Diana inside, where a team of private medical staff wiped away the cold rain and wrapped her in warm fleece clothing.
Sitting in the grand library in front of a roaring stone fireplace, William carefully examined the small silver heart locket hanging around Diana’s neck. Using a precision jeweler’s glass, he unscrewed the hidden latch at the base of the pendant.
