Re: Chapter 2.6: Misr House I [02/01/1925]
Moretti answered in a voice that was quiet. ”There’s only a single road to the island, to the Misr House. It halts at a gate, which is guarded.” He tilted his head toward Walter. ”Bo was able to navigate the marsh, find another path to the estate. We can use that route to get on the grounds, hopefully undetected. If we’re lucky, maybe we locate Tommy. Possibly even disrupt whatever ritual the Brotherhood is trying to conduct.”
He glanced out one of the windows at the growing dark. ”We have to try, Barrington or no. If the two of us vanish...well, maybe that will give the Inspector sufficient cause to investigate, regardless of jurisdiction.”
He buttoned his coat closed as he spoke. Pulling on his gloves, he looked over at Bo and nodded.
