Chapter 5 - The Security Logs
Within two minutes, the heavy oak doors opened again. Marcus, a heavily scarred man in a black tactical suit, walked quickly down the aisle. He gently placed a hand on his daughter Ellie’s head, silently praising her bravery, before handing a digital tablet directly to Roman.
"I pulled the encrypted feeds from the blind spots near the garden wall, Boss," Marcus said quietly. "Someone wiped the primary drives, but they didn't know I installed a backup server last month."
Roman took the tablet. He tapped the screen, loading the recovered video file.
He turned the volume up just enough for Serena to hear it.
On the screen, in grainy black-and-white night vision, Serena was standing near the garden gate. She was wearing her silk robe. A man stepped out of the shadows. He reached out to take a small, silver object from her hand. His left hand was clearly missing two fingers.
The audio crackled, but Serena’s voice was unmistakable.
“The master key for the armory,” the recorded Serena whispered. “He keeps the ledger in the vault. Do it tonight while he’s at the docks. Just make sure it looks like a robbery.”
