After finally arriving at the bunker, they were ready to go over everything that they had.

And it wasn’t much.

They were leaning heavily into Merry on this one. She was the one driving the intel bus.

Hopefully, not off the cliff.

As Ivan went to go shower and change, they knew they needed to find Von Donore first and foremost.

The key could wait.

The government wasted so much money each year anyway, what was another fifty million.

It was already considered gone at that point.

Maura was having some tea.

“Merry, say you have something,” she said. “Because we didn’t get anything significant out of Clint Rust, other than what the hell went down.”

Elizabeth was curious.

“I had my com off. So I didn’t hear what you learned.”

She filled her in.

When she was done, she was thinking about the information, and how she hadn’t heard back from her source in England yet.

When Maura finished, Elizabeth was in agreement.

“We need to find him. This is leading us in circles. Almost everyone on that platoon list is dead.”

Jagger corrected her.

“They are actually all dead. If the dude you found at that woman’s home, with their dead child is Charlie Hancock, the list is kicked. That means everyone who could have the crypto key is out of commission.”

They were still waiting to see about the Duke and Dutchess of Gordon, and how they fit into this.

“Merry?”

She smiled.

“I think I have him. I’m not one hundred percent sure, but I believe I’ve pinpointed the building. It’s in the warehouse district.”

They knew it well.

They blew up a ship there when dealing with chaos coming into the port.

“I traced it back to a shell company, and here’s the owner,” she said.

Pulling up a picture, she showed them a face.

“This is Patrick Levy.”

They had never heard that name before tied to this particular case. Was he someone new they needed to find?

“Uh, and can we have something more?” Elizabeth asked.

Only, immediately, Maura got it.
