The 39 Clues
Why?
Chapter 7: Wait!
When Natalie left his room Dan quickly got his mind back on the Vespers. He remembered and called his boss about what he found.
"Hello, Damian," Dan whispered into the phone.
"Did you check for bugs or cameras in the room before you called this number?" Damian said from the other end of the phone.
Dan sighed, "Yes sir, I did. There were none in the room."
He heard something on the other end of the line. It sounded like someone getting hit with something. "Are you interrogating someone, sir?" Dan asked leaning up in the bed.
"Yes," he heard Vesper 1 say in a stern voice. "A Cahill that tried to get into our headquarters. He is part of the Lucian branch, Luke Sparrow. He tried to hack our system but they found him before he found out anything. We just got all the information from him and we are about to kill him."
"Wait," Dan said sitting up straight. "I might could use him."
He heard Damian Vesper laugh on the other end of the call. "Since when do you, Daniel Vesper, have any mercy for a Cahill. You've hated them all your life and you've killed many yourself. What makes this one different?"
"I told you I might could use him," Dan said standing up. "These Cahills care a lot about their family. If things get to going bad I might could use him a leverage to get them to talk. I'm trying my best but I've only been able to find very limited information and Ian Kabra is starting to suspect something, but I think I've got that covered."
He heard something hit hard metal on the other end; Dan flinched at the sound. "I thought I told you to be careful around the Kabra's; they are very smart and can tell if someone is lying," Vesper 1 said in an angry voice.
Dan looked down at the ground and then started to pace the floor. "Sir I am watching out for the stupid Kabra children. I did find some new information that you might want to know."
"Well then tell me," Damian said on the other end.
Dan sighed and shook his head. "I have found out that the Cahills are planning several attacks on some Vesper headquarters sometime soon. The files didn't say when but only that it was in progress. They also know some of the identities of some Vesper assassins that have been after Cahills, only they don't know that they are assassins."
"Okay," he heard Damian say. "Good work with what you have done so far. When you get the chance try and find out anything you can from the others. I will keep Luke aliveā¦for now. Just keep on trying." Vesper 1 hung up the phone.
Dan looked down at his phone and then closed it. He paced the floor and ran his finger through his hair. He had to think of something that would get him information and no blood on his back. He had to think of a way to get into the CCC again and get more information without Ian questioning him. And worst of all, he had to find a way to get information out of each Cahill including Ian.
