Say perchance that:
The moon was in VIRGO; the doors flew open, Anna Espinosa entered the Banco Finatia in Portugal with a cocked eyebrow and a determined smirk.
you lick your lips. the whole place is scanned, every point accounted for. step across the marble tiled floor; the clicking of you heels against it spark confidence in your stride. pick the young woman to your left sitting at her desk. "Tarde boa, que posso eu fazer para você?" Good afternoon, what may I do for you? stare her in the eye for just a moment, savoring her naivety. "Sim. Eu necessito começar na caixa número 919, por favor." Yes. I need to get into box number 919, please. you hand her identification…name: Christina Valicepio, race: Caucásico, birth: 9-16-61, address: 7294 San Vicente Ferrer, Madrid, Spain, hair: blonde, height: 1.75 m, weight: 70 kg. "Chave?" Key? you pull out the card from your wallet and hand it to her. "Siga-me, por favor." Follow me, please.
walk directly behind her as you enter the safe. the camera hovering overhead focuses on you; you wink as you pass. you can only hope to have Sydney see the tape when she arrives. 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919…the woman places her key inside the slot, she waits for you to do the same. "Obrigado Ms. Valicepio. Eu estarei esperando fora." Thank you Ms. Valicepio. I'll be waiting outside.
the case opens with ease, unopened for years, you're sure of it. inside, a solitary slip of paper with the writing: German, a wax-green seal. you remove the slip and place it tightly in your purse, remove the key and slide the case back into position, turn the knob and exit the safe. "Obrigado. Tenha um dia encantador." Thank you. Have a lovely day.
you look up at the camera again as you begin to leave, this time waving your fingers, specifically for SD-6; you now have what they wanted. you glance at the large clock. 3:56 pm. walk outside into the Portuguese sun, the bustle of pedestrians annoys you. you hail a taxi. get in. although you know it's there, you don't turn around to admire the cloud of smoke billowing up behind you.
